Hi, I'm Jayson &
I am a School-Based OT
You and I, we can both be great
school-based practitioners!
My name is Jayson Davies, and over the past decade I have worked closely with all kinds of professionals in the educational realm to better understand occupational therapy in the educational world.
​
I even started the OT School House Podcast in 2017 so I could converse with more school-based OTs and help OTs around the world better understand SBOT. All of these experiences has led me to helping more therapists through the creation of this very course!
​
As an OT practitioner looking to improve yourself as a therapist, you may be hoping to become a more thorough evaluator. Or perhaps you are curious about learning how to incorporate a Response to Intervention (RTI) program as a way to slow down your growing evaluation list & caseload.
You may want to learn how to move from your evaluation, through the IEP process, and into the fun part where you get to work with the kids!
​
If that is the case, the A-Z School-based OT course is right for you! We are going to walk through the process of being a therapist in an educational world. We will start with creating an RTI program and only continue form there into referrals, evaluations, PLOPs & goal planning, and then on to services.
From there, we will look at effecting planing to help manage the ever growing OT caseload and the ethical graduation of students with OT.
​
Unfortunately, OT programs do not yet put enough focus on school-based OT despite estimates that 20-25% of OTs and OTAs work in the educational realm.
​
Likewise, continuing education courses tend to focus on individual treatment models as opposed to the systems and educational aspects of school-based OT.
​
The A-Z School-Based OT course is designed to teach you how to support students through effective RTI strategies, thorough and efficient evaluations, efficient SMART-E goals, treatment planning for success, and providing services in the least restrictive environment.
​
I hope you will join me today and start down the path to fully understanding school-based OT and how we can efficiently and effectively help more students! I also look forward to meeting you soon in our A-Z School-Based OT Office hours! (More on that in just a second!)
