The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to School-Based Occupational Therapy Is Here!

If you’re stepping into the world of school-based occupational therapy or thinking about making the transition, you likely have more questions than answers. What’s the difference between clinical and school-based OT? How do you handle IEPs, caseloads, and collaboration with teachers? Where do you even start?

You’re not alone—and that’s exactly why I created A Beginner’s Guide for School-Based Occupational Therapy Practitioners, now available for download here.

This concise yet comprehensive 14-page guide is designed to give you the clarity, confidence, and practical tools you need to thrive in a school setting.


Why I Wrote This eBook

As a pediatric occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience, I remember how overwhelming it felt when I first entered the school system. The terminology, the timelines, the team dynamics—it was a lot. Over the years, I’ve mentored many OTs who felt the same way. So I compiled the most essential knowledge and real-world advice into this beginner-friendly guide.

It’s the resource I wish I had when I was starting out—and now, it’s yours.


What You’ll Learn Inside

This guide covers the foundational knowledge you need to understand your role, advocate for your services, and begin your journey with confidence. Topics include:

  • Tips for collaboration with teachers, staff, and families
  • Managing caseloads and scheduling
