GFESC Special Education and Related Services…Relating Related Services: the Role of OT, PT, and SLP in the School-Setting

Occupational therapists (OTs), physical therapists (PTs), and speech-language
pathologists (SLPs) are related services personnel and are considered Specialized
Instructional Support Personnel (ESSA, 2015). They are important members of the
school culture and community who provide support to students and staff based on their
knowledge of human development, disability, and disease processes. They are trained
in evidence-based interventions, High Leverage Practices (McLeskey et al., 2019),
accommodations, and modifications to promote participation in the least restrictive
environment. OTs, PTs, and SLPs are a critical resource for supporting all students
when educationally relevant and necessary for a free and appropriate public education,
but what does this really mean and how do they relate? Join us as we discuss
strategies to ignite the role of these key personnel and bring coherence to special
education and related services. This session is presented by Amy Goddard and Tabitha Riendeau. Content is relevant for occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, teachers, school psychology specialists, administrators, and other stakeholders. To maximize learning benefit, it’s best to bring a team! Training requires 10 registrants, otherwise, it will be canceled.
