Occupational Therapy at School, During the School Day

Your child gets OT right on campus, so you don’t have to leave work early or fight traffic. With the school’s approval, Shannon works with your child where many challenges actually show up.

How School-Based OT Works

We coordinate with you and the school, see your child on campus, and keep teachers in the loop.

We Coordinate
With the School

With your permission and the school’s approval, Shannon schedules sessions around your child’s day.

Focused Sessions
on Campus

A short, focused 30-minute session, then your child heads right back to class.

Teachers Stay
in the Loop

Shannon shares simple classroom strategies so support continues all week.

Kids spend most of their day at school, and that’s where many challenges show up. Working on campus means we see those moments up close and solve them in context.

We work on:

  • Handwriting and fine motor: grip, letter formation, spacing, copying from the board

  • Sensory regulation: noise, movement breaks, seating, and transitions

  • Attention and organization: starting work, staying on track, multi-step directions

  • Classroom tasks: scissors, glue, lunch containers, backpacks

  • Playground and PE: balance, coordination, and joining group games
