Description

The occupational therapist (OT) provided school consultation for a child with clumsiness and learning disabilities in a regular classroom. The OT visited the school seven times over a period of approximately 7 months and consulted with either the teaching staff or parents. Regarding the chief complaints from parents and teaching staff, the OT explained the circumstances of this child and obtained agreements to apply supporting methods. By adopting teaching methods that made the most of the child’s individual qualities and devising easy-to-write teaching materials, the child learned how to read and write while improving his motivation toward the course work. The parents’ training also decreased problematic behaviors by the child at home.
