Frequently Asked Questions

What is school-based Occupational Therapy? How about fine motor, visual motor or sensory motor skills?

School-based Occupational Therapy (OT) is a service provided in the educational setting to support students who demonstrate challenges that impact their independence in school-related activities. The primary goal is to help students best succeed in completing fine motor skills (manipulating small objects, hands/finger strengthening, handwriting), visual motor skills (puzzles, cutting shapes), self-help skills (buttoning & shoe tying), and sensory processing skills (managing sensitivities to noise, light, and textures) in the classroom.

Is SkillSprouts OT an Occupational Therapy service?

SkillSprouts OT was created as a supplemental collection of resources (activities/strategies/products) for the home setting, inspired by years of feedback from parents and caregivers. This is not intended to be a direct Occupational Therapy service. To learn more about Occupational Therapy services, please consult your student's school or pediatrician.
