Collaborating for Student Success: A Guide for School-Based Occupational Therapy

Collaborating for Student Success: A Guide for School-Based Occupational Therapy by Jayne Shepherd. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781569003848.

School-based practitioners usually refer to collaboration as a team meeting or teacher assistance rather than as an interactive team process focused on student success and influenced by personal and environmental factors. Designed for advanced-level, school-based occupational therapists, Collaborating for Student Success will help you empower students to thrive in any circumstance or setting. Discover the most effective ways to join forces with family and education partners and link collaboration to the mandates in the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). This edition is aligned with the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, legislative mandates, and current evidence and best practices in school-based occupational therapy. In addition, two new chapters focus on leading and sustaining system supports and collaborating in preschools.
