Back To School Conference
Promoting Independence In Education
August 27-29, 2021
I am pleased to invite you to the first ever,
OT School House: Back To School Conference. This year's theme as we return to the classroom is promoting independence in education.
Children spend nearly one half of their day at school and it is our duty to help them be as independent as possible in the least restrictive environment.
This year, the Back To School Conference will be a nationwide (perhaps worldwide) gathering of school-based and pediatric occupational therapists that value the importance of supporting children where they are.
With a Friday evening keynote address, virtually live Saturday sessions, and an additional 2 sessions on Sunday, this conference is sure to get you ready to tackle the 2021-22 school year. Sessions will address sensory processing, trauma, behavior, determining the appropriate frequency of services for students, and much more!
​
If you are ready to improve yourself as a school-based therapist and learn from those who have put the research into practice, sign up now for the best possible early bird price!
Presenters
I (Jayson Davies, MA, OTR/L) will be presenting on the flow of an IEP and how to determine the recommended frequency for students in a school-based model. As a new school-based therapist, or even with few years experience, you may find yourself questioning yourself as to how you decided to give one student weekly services and another student monthly services. This presentation will help you to feel more confident in your clinical decision skills and provide you with printable and digital worksheets to help you determine how frequently you need to see each of your students.
More Presenters will be announced in March of 2021
Great Value!
This conference is design for you as a school-based OT and every session has been researched, vetted, and hand selected by Jayson to be relevant for the school-based OT looking to help students in the least restrictive environment. Each presenter has many years of experience and has demonstrated the ethical decision making you expect from the OT School House! On top off a hand curated schedule of sessions, you will have the opportunity to earn 10+ hours of professional development hours in just one weekend! Oh, and did I mention the swag bag?!?
