In this interview with Jen Fisher,  we discuss all the domains a school-based Occupational Therapist can help with. Spoiler alert - it's not just toileting and fine motor skills! Jen and I talk about everything from the primary role of an OT in any setting, to supporting students with additional needs, to suggestions for anyone interested in pursuing occupational therapy as a career. Thank you Jen Fisher, for sharing about your work in schools. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered when NOT to pursue a psycho-educational assessment? There are certain referrals we might describe as “red lights," which means we likely would not consider proceeding with the assessment. If you haven’t already, I recommend you listen to parts 1 and 2 of this 3-part series first to better understand “green light” and "yellow light" psych assessment referrals.
