3 Steps to Successful Embedding of OT Services
Are you interested in knowing different ways you can effectively embed your interventions into the classroom? Look no further. This seminar will explain how embedding services align with the intentions of IDEA, lead to successful participation in your students, and give you the job satisfaction that you are fulfilling your role as a therapist! You will learn about the 3 important steps of embedding: observing, hypothesizing and intervening.
Lara will show you various manners to embed your services via case study applications in 6 different classrooms – in English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Art, Arrival, and transitions after Recess. She will teach you how to observe and hypothesize whether a student’s challenges in participation is a “fishbowl” or a “fish” problem, so that you know when and how to intervene at the student level or the class level. You will then learn how to embed evidence-based OT interventions such as co-teaching, environmental and task adaptations, assistive technology (AT), and coaching using the CO-OP approach (Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance) into the school routines. Lara’s examples will demonstrate how embedded services can be directed towards 1 student, a pair of students, or a whole class to reach various school goals like completion of self-regulation, organization of materials, written work via handwriting or AT, and classroom work such as Math or art projects.
Leave the course with an organized approach in embedding your services into the classroom that you can use the very next day!
