OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST Email Phone: 715-537-5621 ext. 314 I became employed by the Barron Area School District on Aug. 2012. Prior to that I worked for CESA 11 (2002 til 2012) as an occupational therapist covering the Barron School District and many other districts in the area. What is school based occupational therapy? "Schools provide occupational therapy when a child with a disability requires this related service to assist the child to benefit from special education. Occupational therapists use purposeful activity to facilitate a child's active participation in self-maintenance; academic and vocational pursuits; and play or leisure activities that occur in school environments. Using direct and indirect services, as well as assistive technology and environmental modifications, school occupational therapists collaborate with parents, teachers and other educational staff to help implement a child's special education program."
