Occupational Therapy Services |
|
|
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a related service provided at no cost to children
of rural Champaign County who meet the definition of disability under either
IDEA or Section 504 of the Rehab Act of 1973, and who have an underlying motor
or sensory processing disorder. These services are provided when it is necessary
to enable a student to access or benefit from their special education program
under IDEA, or the general curriculum under Section 504. RCCSEC has an
outstanding OT department which provides comprehensive evaluations and treatment
of sensory-motor disorders if students are found eligible. Evaluations are
provided by a licensed occupational therapist (OTR/L or OT/L) who has a minimum
of a bachelor's degree. Treatment plans and goals are written by the OTR/L and
implemented by a certified occupational therapy assistant (COTA/L or OTA/L),
with an associate's degree in occupational therapy. Ongoing supervision is
provided by the OTR/L until the student is dismissed from OT. Services may be
delivered on a direct (pull-out) basis, or on a collaborative/consultative basis
to the educational team serving the child, depending on the student's identified
needs.
