Occupational and Physical Therapy in Educational Environments
covers the major issues involved in providing lawful,
team-oriented, and effective occupational and physical therapy
services for students with disabilities in public schools. For
those involved with students with disabilities, this book helps
them make sound decisions about services that will make a
meaningful difference in the lives of these children.Since the 1975
enactment of Public Law 94--142, which mandated that occupational
and physical therapy be provided "as may be required by a
handicapped child to benefit from special education," this required
link between therapy and education has continued to lead to
confusion and controversy about which students should receive
therapy in school and what types of services should be provided.
The purpose of Occupational and Physical Therapy in Educational
Environments is to clarify the major issues surrounding
occupational and physical therapy in public schools, and to provide
a framework for delivery of team- and family-oriented services that
meet individual needs of students with disabilities.For those
unsure of current regulations regarding handicapped students, or
those who need clarification on the law, the book begins with a
review of legislation and regulations. This begins to guide and
shape schools'provision of therapy services. The following chapters
assist occupational and physical therapists and important members
of the educational teams of disabled students to make sound
decisions about which students need school-based therapy services:
Laws that Shape Therapy Services in Educational Environments:
summarizes the major statutory law, federal regulations, and case
law interpretation in which school-based practice is grounded.
Pediatric Therapy in the 1990s: reviews contemporary theories of
motor development, motor control, and motor learning that have had
major impact on therapy for school-age children with disabilities.
Related Services Decision-Making: describes a strong team approach
to determining a student's need for occupational and physical
therapy services, which takes into account the unique
characteristics of both the student and the educational team.
Assessment and Intervention in School-Based Practice: describes an
approach to assessment and intervention in schools that clearly
illustrates a relationship between therapy and educational programs
that result in meaningful outcomes for students. Challenges of
Interagency Collaboration: reports on a qualitative study that
points out that schools are not the only settings in which many
students with disabilities receive services, so coordination
between various agencies is essential to avoid gaps, overlaps, and
cross purposes.Those who can benefit from Occupational and Physical
Therapy in Educational Environments include occupational and
physical therapists who work in public schools, school
administrators, teachers, and even parents of disabled children.
