Learn. Implement.
Make Real Impact in Your Schools.
As busy school-based OTPs, we’ve all been there. You attend a great workshop, feel inspired… and then nothing changes. Caseloads grow, systems get in the way, and without ongoing support, even your best ideas stall out.
The Collab is designed to break that cycle. We don’t just help you learn best practices — we help you implement them with clarity, confidence, and support so they actually improve outcomes for students and teachers.
- What Collab Members Are Saying -
“I initially joined the OT Schoolhouse Collaborative two years ago for access to relevant CEU courses. What I found was a community of OTs willing to troubleshoot tough cases, share resources, keep me updated on current research and relevant topics, and so much more.
I use the resources in the Collaborative far more than I expected, and the value goes way beyond continuing education.”
— Brooke, School-Based OT
Here’s how the Collaborative helps you turn learning into action:
✔ Live Collaborative Hours (Group Mentorship)
Get real-time guidance on cases, systems challenges, and school-based OT decisions so you always know your next step.
✔ School-based CEUs you’ll actually use

✔ Ready-to-use tools and templates
Evaluations, intervention tools, IEP resources, communication templates, and more that save time and improve consistency.
✔ A community that supports implementation

CEUs Designed for School-Based Practice
Not all continuing education is created with school-based OT in mind. Too often, courses are built for clinical settings, leaving you to translate ideas on your own.
In The Collab, every CEU is designed specifically for the realities of school-based practice — from caseload demands and system constraints to collaboration with teachers, administrators, and families.
Our goal isn’t to overwhelm you with content. It’s to help you learn what actually applies to your role — and earn CEUs you can use with confidence.
What makes our CEUs different
✔ School-based focus, always
Every course is intentionally designed for school settings — not clinics, EI, or home-based.
✔ AOTA-approved learning you can trust
Earn CEUs through live and on-demand courses that meet AOTA requirements while staying grounded in real-world practice.
✔ Taught by experienced school-based OTPs
Learn from practitioners who have worked in schools and understand the systems, challenges, and decisions you face every day.
✔ Practical, immediately applicable content
Courses focus on strategies, frameworks, and decision-making you can apply the very next day — not abstract theory.
✔ Flexible learning that fits your schedule
Attend live sessions when you can, or access recordings on your own time without falling behind.
CEUs in The Collab don’t stand alone. They’re designed to connect seamlessly with mentorship, tools, and implementation support when you’re ready to take the next step.

Get Support for the Questions You Didn’t Learn in OT School
In The Collab, you don’t have to guess or go it alone. Through live Collaboration Hours, Q&A sessions, and community discussions, you can bring real cases and real questions to experienced school-based OTPs who understand your role.
This is where you get clarity — not generic advice.
Here’s the kind of support members receive every week:
-
I have an IEP meeting coming up — what should I assess?
-
How do I decide if this is sensory, behavioral, or executive function?
-
What assessment tools actually make sense to order?
-
What is my role in middle or high school?
-
How do I provide consults effectively?
These are all real questions we address as a community inside The Collab
As a member, you can ask your most pressing questions and get detailed responses from the OT Schoolhouse team and other experienced OT practitioners.

What our Members Think about
The Collab
Elevated Confidence and Capacity
"The OT Schoolhouse Collaborative has been one of the most valuable professional supports in my practice... It has genuinely elevated both my confidence and my capacity as a school-based OT."
- Mary
Not Just Continuing Education
"I initially joined the OT Schoolhouse Collaborative two years ago, primarily for access to relevant courses for CEUs. What I found was a community of OTs willing to trouble shoot tough cases, share resources, keep me updated on current research and relevant topics, and so much more. I use the resources in the collaborative so much more than originally anticipated, and the value in being a member goes way beyond continuing education courses."
- Brooke
A Safe Space for Questions
"The Collaborative is an amazing space with amazing community that has both been awesome to share knowledge and ideas as well as ask questions in a safe space with other individuals in the same setting as me!"
- Payton
Tools to Advocate
"I am thankful for this resource as I navigated my first couple of years as an occupational therapist in the school based setting. Having the articles, community and knowledge available to newer therapists like me has been helpful. Personally, my OT team at my district has used the resources like workload vs caseload model to advocate and shape how we distribute schools and service minutes."
- Jamie

Love of Community
As a new therapist, Jayson was fortunate to work in a district where the OTs met monthly. But that didn't happen in his second job. Jayson appreciates the ideas and growth that come as a result of OTs gathering.
Interesting fact about Jayson
Jayson lacks pain sensation on the left side of his face as a suspected result of trauma to the Trigeminal nerve when he was younger. He attributes this to one of the reasons he wanted to become an OT.
