Guests Bio
In 2017, Jayson founded the OT Schoolhouse website and now supports school-based OT practitioners via courses, conferences, and the OTS Collaborative community.
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.
For over five years, he has 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 school-based OT practitioners.
Quotes
“There is no one correct way to write an IEP…I say that fully understanding that there are a lot of required components to an IEP. There are pieces that must be there.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
“An IEP is a collaborative effort. It is not just you. It is not just the teacher writing the IEP. It is the entire IEP team that is coming together, and you are providing your piece as the specialist in occupational therapy.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
“Just because the way things are that you see when you come into a job, doesn't mean that you have to do things that way. Your present levels can look very different than the occupational therapy practitioners present levels that were there before you.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
“Not every IEP should be the same, and you should be switching it up based upon what each child needs. So long as you're making the decisions that you make on the IEP based upon the best outcomes for the student and the evidence that you have available to you at the time, then you're doing the IEP right.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
“The longer that we put off telling our administrators that we are struggling, the harder it gets for us to actually tell our administrators that we are struggling.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
“It is totally fine to have mentors that are outside the world of occupational therapy. In fact, you could even argue that it is beneficial to have mentors from outside the world of occupational therapy, as well as from within occupational therapy.”
-Jayson Davies, M.A, OTR/L
