This course aims to empower and equip OT, PT, and Speech practitioners with effective strategies and valuable resources for clearly articulating their roles in school-based practice. Guided by Carlo, participants will gain insights into the distinctions between medical-based services and school-based services as governed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Carlo will underscore the unique role that school-based practitioners play, setting them apart from their counterparts in homes, clinics, or hospitals. You will explore key strategies for clarifying your role within the school context, including talking up school participation from day 1, describing the ultimate goal of your services, framing discussions in terms of “opportunities for practice” rather than simply the frequency of services, and validating and addressing the concerns of families and educators.

Recognizing that change is a gradual process, Carlo will delve into various avenues for effectively communicating your role in school-based practice. This includes crafting elevator speeches, creating parent introduction letters at the beginning of the school year, developing newsletters for educators, delivering internal presentations during professional development days, enhancing your evaluation reports, and actively advocating for your role in the student’s educational success during IEP meetings. Leave this seminar with concrete strategies, and tools, such as a slide deck presentation, school newsletters, and templates for evaluation and parent introduction letter that you can use throughout the school year! Closed Captioned in English!

BONUS: PRACTICAL TOOLKIT – School-based vs Medical-based Services Slide Deck for presentations; School Newsletters; Start-of-the-Year Parent Introduction Letter; Evaluation Template; Links to Assessment Tools; and other Resources
