About
Jayson is the host of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast and has been a school-based occupational therapist since 2012. With experience as both a contracted therapist and an "in-house" employee for two distinctly different districts, Jayson has had the opportunity to appreciate the differences between both small-rural and large-suburban districts.
In 2017, Jayson founded the OT Schoolhouse website and now supports school-based OT practitioners via courses, conferences, and the OTS Collaborative community. Recently, Jayson has put forth his efforts toward supporting therapists interested in tiered intervention, collaborative programming and managing their workloads.
