Testimonials "I absolutely love this podcast and that I am able to earn PD/CEUs by doing what I already do all the time..... listen to podcasts!!" -Laura Wills, OTR/L " I found your podcast today and was so happy to find it! I love podcasts and listen to many different podcasts on my 50 min commute to work. I've been thinking for a while about wanting to learn about my job on my drive, but other OT podcasts I've tried were not great. I'm really impressed with your podcast! It's informative, yet not boring. I've been an OT for 4 1/2 years and worked at my job- an ABA private school for 4 years in July. (I also used to work PRN at a community hospital.) A lot of the content of your podcast is exactly what I want/need! Thank you for making your podcast!" -Sarah Szymanski Horn, OTR/L Frequently Asked Questions Is the OT School House Podcast an AOTA approved provider of continuing education? No, it is not. However, it is not required to be an AOTA approved provider in order to issue professional development units. Will NBCOT accept these units to meet my recertification needs? Yes! You can read for yourself the NBCOT guidelines for what constitutes a qualified professional development course using the link below. Click here to see what counts toward NBCOT renewal (See # 14, The OT School House constitutes as a "Third-party entity") Will my state licensure board accept this as professional development? This depends on your state. While NBCOT guidelines are clear that they will accept this form of professional development, every state has its own set of guidelines. We are not yet an AOTA approved provider of continuing education. Click here to see what counts toward NBCOT renewal (See # 14) Click here to see what your state's OT board requires The Podcast is free to listen to, why aren't the certificates of completion? Our vision is to one day be able to provide free continuing education certificates to all listeners because we know from your emails that you feel that this is, in fact, professional development. Unfortunately, it does cost money and time to produce this podcast and the necessary materials in order to offer continuing education credit. We will continue to produce the OT School House Podcast for as long as we can because we love OT and we love to share knowledge. Professional development is only useful if it is accessible. That's why it is our mission to get credible research and information to as many therapists as possible. The guests on this show do earn a small percentage of each sale and the rest goes back into making this resource possible for you. We thank you in advance for supporting us by purchasing our professional development course and using our embedded links to other sites that help us earn small commissions. Are podcasts as effective as attending a course? Short Answer: Yes Recent statistics have shown that nearly than 50% of the US population is now listening to podcasts. And we know from our podcast stats that over 3000 OTs, COTAs, Teachers, and other professionals are looking to enhance their abilities to help students by listening to each episode of the OTSH podcast. From our surveys, a majority of our customers say that our professional development podcast courses are as effective as live courses. Everyone learns slightly different, but when you enjoy the experience you are likely to get the most benefit! Can I earn Professional Development for every Episode? Not every episode will have an opportunity for professional development to be earned. And that is because not every episode meets our standards for what we think qualifies as professional development. Episodes with special guests sharing research and episodes where we put the effort into research materials for you to use with your students and peers are the ones that are likely to make the cut. But don't worry, we'll let you know which ones will be available to earn units for at the beginning of each episode from here on out. So when you're driving home, listening at the gym, or listening by the pool, know now that what you are listening to can save you time because you have the ability to earn your necessary professional development while engaging in your everyday occupations. Will the OT School House Podcast continue to be free? Yes, you will still be able to access each and every episode for free where ever you listen now. Only pay when you want to demonstrate that you have listened to the podcast in order to earn professional development units. The last thing we would want to do is take away education for all.

Thank you for your interest in the Gray-Space Notebook! Since you have already subscribed to our email list, you know what our Gray-Space paper is and how it can help your students succeed in meeting their handwriting goals. Now, we are taking it to the next level to help those students who struggle by introducing the Fading Gray-Space Notebook . Just like the original documents you received when you subscribed to the email list, this notebook is designed to help your students improve the sizing, spacing, and placement of letters on the line as they use it in their classroom. Check out this video as a refresher and an extra tip for assisting your students. ON THE FIRST PAGE SMALL TALL AND TAIL AS A REFERENCE - I COULD HAVE ADDED THIS TO THE BOOK, BUT I BELIEVE IN LEARNING BY DOING AND THE APPRECIAtION OF SELF-CREATION FOR KIDS So here's a quick recap of the components embedded in this notebook that will help your students: ?? gray-scale pages designed to help your students size, space, and place their letters and words in a legible manner. 1/2" lined paper with a dashed midline throughout the entire notebook. 1/2" lined paper is used by most 1st to 3rd-grade classroom teachers. This is also perfect for students who require extra support for handwriting in all grades. The portion of each line from the dashed midline down to the baseline is 1/4" and fades from a pronounced gray shade on page one, to absolutely no gray in the final section of the notebook. Just like the gray fades, so do the tick marks that help your students space their letters and words. With 20 individual spaces for letters on each line, your students will be able to write an average of 4-5 words per line. Pages can be torn from the spiral binding, but we recommend leaving them in so that your student can see the progress they have made. Order Now! Here's the deal, Just like we said in the email, we are ready to produce and ship out these notebooks as soon as we get a total of 50 units ordered. So now is that part where I ask you to click the "order now" button if, and only if, you are thinking of or can think of a student who would greatly benefit from this notebook. At the end of the day, we (Jayson and Abby) are here to help students succeed. All students have different needs and we hope to have a way that can help them, but if not, we understand. If you would like to order 1 or more these notebooks for $14.99 each plus shipping, just Click here!

The self-paced course for school-based OT practitioners covering everything from RTI and evaluations to student graduation The self-paced course for school-based OT practitioners covering everything from RTI and evaluations to student graduation " Every aspect was fantastic. Every OT working in the schools should take this course . Thank you, Jayson for all you hard work." Tara Larson M.S. OTR/L A-Z School-Based OT Course Participant Print Registration form Waitlist The A-Z School-Based OT Course will be reopening March 19th! Join the waitlist to be the first to know when registration is open * Not seeing a form to join the waitlist, try accessing this page on Google Chrome or Firefox. Still not working? Send me a quick email & I will add you! Hi, I'm Jayson & I am a School-Based OT You and I, w e 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!

Every OT working in the schools should take this course . Thank you, Jayson for all your hard work." - Tara Larson M.S. OTR/L - Learn the OT Schoolhouse Framework WITH JAYSON DAVIES, MA, OTR/L Taking on the role of a school-based OT practitioner is tough. Nearly 20% of all OT practitioners work in the education systems, yet OT and OTA education programs barely touch on the uniqueness of occupation therapy in PreK-12 education. As you may already know, working in the education system is vastly different from any other occupational therapy setting - yes, even from other pediatric settings. In school-based occupational therapy, we do things like: 👉🏼 Support entire classrooms 👉🏼 Consult with teache rs and teacher assistants 👉🏼 Attend yearly IEP meetings to develop student goals for an entire year 👉🏼 Implement accommodations into a classroom 👉🏼 Work with the same student at their elementary, middle, AND high school With this course, you will get a step-by-step guide to building a solid foundation for your school-based OT services. You will understand the difference between 504 plans and IEPs. You will learn how therapists can implement a tiered intervention program and what to do when a student does not improve with that plan. I will walk you through every step of the process, from receiving a student referral to student graduation and everything in between. What you'll learn in this course Hint: School-based OT is much more than 1-on-1 sessions Through this strategically designed course, you'll learn the OT Schoolhouse framework for handling school-based occupational therapy referrals, evaluations, IEP development, intervention planning and execution, and ethically graduating students from OT services. The scope of school-based OT You will gain an understanding of the role OT practitioners play in education and the laws and governing bodies that oversee our practice. Pre-referral interventions You will learn preventative tiered interventions so that you can support the teachers in addition to the students you serve. You'll gain insights as to how using tiered interventions can save you time and energy as a therapist while supporting more students. The referral and evaluation process Implementing systems at both a site level and at a personal level are both key to preventing you from burning out as a therapist. You'll learn how to implement a referral process to limit unnecessary evaluations. You'll also learn how to conduct evaluations and receive the templates and tools you need to produce legal and ethical evaluations. Developing and implementing goals, services, and accomodations You'll learn how to use your evaluation to develop goals, determine service type and frequency, and put in place accommodations to support your student. I will guide you in the options you have as a school-based OT practitioner for providing direct and indirect services for a student. Graduating students from OT services Relieve your fear of repercussion when graduating a student from OT services in the final segment of the A-Z School-Based OT Course. You'll learn how to identify when to graduate a student and how to do it in a way that the whole team is on board. LEARN WITH JAYSON ⤵ Here's what you get with the A-Z School-Based OT Course! A comprehensive understanding of your role as a school-based OT practitioner Jayson Davies, host of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast, will guide you through the processes and systems he uses to support students in accessing their education programming.

My name is Jayson Davies, and I have been supporting students and teachers as a school-based OT for over a decade. Now, I support school-based OT practitioners in implementing best practices. So, if you are looking to support your students and teachers while saving yourself time and energy, look no further. Since graduating from OT School in 2012, I have been neck-deep in school-based occupational therapy. I've worked as a contracted therapist in a large suburban district where I was the newest therapist in a department of more than 15 OT practitioners. I've also worked as a district employee in a rural area where I was one of only two OT practitioners - myself and an OTA. I have learned a lot from those experiences, like how to collaborate with teachers and develop educationally relevant goals. I've also developed dozens of resources for students, teachers, and myself to make my practice more efficient and effective. But more importantly, I have taught hundreds of OT practitioners just like you how to use the OT Schoolhouse Framework to effectively and efficiently implement OT services in their schools. For over five years, I have been helping therapists implement proactive tiered interventions, support IEP teams with goals and services, and feel more satisfied with the job they are doing as a school-based OT practitioner. As the host of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast, I have had the opportunity to learn from 100+ leaders in our field and apply their knowledge to my practice. Now, I look forward to helping you do the same thing. There are many challenges to thriving as a school-based OT practitioner, but the OT Schoolhouse framework I have developed and taught to therapists around the world has helped them to feel more confident in their role and allowed them to support the students they serve in a meaningful way. Now, it's time for you to have that same success. To help your students AND feel good while doing it. How this program sets you up for success It's much more than just a course I know all too well how intimidating it can be to be a school-based OT practitioner. It's difficult when you work at schools with limited resources, mentorship, and support. Even with guidance, it took me over two years to begin feeling confident in my role and ability as a therapist. That's why, after several year years of experience, I created this course. This is the course I wish I had as a therapist in the schools. I want you to not only have the knowledge you need to succeed as a school-based OT practitioner. I also want you to have the tools to make it easier and guidance for when the job gets tough. That's why I've added these built-in supports to this course: Editable Templates As a course participant, you will receive access to over two dozen valuable handouts, editable templates, made-for-you spreadsheets, and Google/Microsoft forms that will assist you in your practice every step of the way. Most of these templates are fully editable so that you can customize them to your liking! Live Office Hours With Jayson I share a lot about school-based OT in this course, but I know you are going to have questions unique to your situation. That is why I set time aside every month to answer your questions live in a private Zoom session. During office hours, I will be available to answer your situation questions directly and thoroughly. Community Support Not only will you have full access to the course content, but you will also be welcomed into the Private A-Z SBOT Learner Center, where Jayson and other like-minded professionals are available to answer case-specific questions. There is no judgment in our group, just plenty of helpful support! Course Objectives We'll cover each of these objectives in a logical way to bring them all into focus for you. You w ill: Identify the role of school-based OT practitioners as outlined by governing bodies and laws Recognize the key factors within the Educational Framework for Child Success Identify a screening process under the Response To Intervention model Differentiate between the uses and procedures of a screening and an evaluation Identify the steps of moving through an IEP from present levels to recommending services Identify appropriate language and content to include in an IEP Identify how the frequency and type of service can impact a student engaging in the least restrictive environment.

Get access to school-based OT goals, treatment ideas, accommodations, and progress monitoring strategies all in one place. The OT Schoolhouse Goal Bank Discover school-based OT goals & supporting treatment strategies to save time and address student needs specific to school-based OT. Find your next goal and therapy idea I don't know about you, but I did not become a school-based OTP to spend countless hours writing goals, drafting progress reports, and planning for therapy sessions. Like you, I became a school-based for the fun part - supporting the students. Unfortunately, the paperwork part of the job is necessary before, during, and after the fun therapy stuff. But what if we could decrease the time we spend on paperwork so that we could increase the time we have to support the students? That is exactly where the OT Schoolhouse Goal Bank aims to help you. With the OT Schoolhouse Goal Bank, you'll have access to our one-of-a-kind bank of OT and Collaborative IEP Goals. Stop spending hours trying to create a goal, and start using a goal bank that is maintained for you. For each and every goal, we'll provide you with a: Template for writing your student baseline Goal benchmarks for 3, 6, and 9 months progress checks. Accommodations that may support your student in meeting the goal In-class strategies to help the student progress toward the goal Individual Therapy ideas to help the student progress toward the goal, and Common Core State Standards related to each goal, allowing you to better collaborate with teachers.

Contact us here Our Take On School-Based OT Goals School-based OT goals are unique. First and foremost, they must pertain to the school setting. The goals in our Bank (and those that we will continue to add over time) are specific to school settings such as the classroom, cafeteria, playground, quad, and the "OT Room." We believe that goals must be SMART and measurable in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). In fact, we often state where the goal is to be met within the goal itself. That way, there is no confusion. We also believe that goals must be collaborative, autonomous, and observable. That's why you will not find "hand-over-hand" goals in our goal bank. We strive to include goals that can be implemented by the entire team (collaborative) and those that are more specific to OT. In the bank, you'll find goals centered around: Executive functioning Handwriting Sensory regulation Functional life skills Visual perception and motor skills Organization Assistive Technology and more Our Take On Therapy Like goals, school-based OT services are unique as well. We believe that the right combination of both collaborative and individual therapy sessions leads to the best outcomes for students. That is why, for each goal, you'll also find a handful of "in-class" and "Pull-out" intervention ideas to support you in helping your students achieve their goals. We'll also share a few of our favorite accommodations for each goal. That way, when a teacher asks you, "What can I do in the classroom?" you'll have a few options ready to consider based on the student's goal.
