School-Based OT Quick Reference Handouts

School-Based OT Quick Reference Handouts: School OT Made Simple – Handouts for Teachers and Parents is a practical collection of easy-to-read educational handouts created to help occupational therapy practitioners share helpful information with teachers, parents, and other members of the school team. Instead of trying to explain everything during a quick conversation, meeting, or parent conference, these ready-to-use handouts provide simple information and practical strategies that can be referenced again and again.

The collection includes handouts covering common school-based occupational therapy topics, including sensory processing, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, visual motor skills, handwriting, and executive function skills. Each handout is designed to break down OT-related concepts into clear, understandable information while providing practical ideas and strategies that can be incorporated into the classroom, school day, or home environment.

Whether you are looking for a resource to send home with a parent, share with a teacher, use during a consultation, or keep on hand for quick reference, these handouts make it easier to communicate the why behind the skills occupational therapy supports. They are designed to help bridge the gap between OT, the classroom, and home by giving teachers and families practical information they can understand and use to support children throughout their everyday routines.
