Welcome to the show notes for Episode 132 of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast.
This week, we are discussing the highlights of the Back to School Conference!
Our journey at the conference led us to explore crucial subjects, such as reframing behavior, addressing mental health concerns, navigating post-school outcomes, discovering evidence-based resources, implementing effective tiered intervention programs, and expanding your toolkit for fine motor skills.
Join us as we delve into these topics and gain valuable insights into our knowledge of School-Based OT.

Learners will recognize the significance of evidence-based practice in occupational therapy in the school setting
