Occupational Therapy

Collier’s occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistants look forward to working with your child. Occupational therapy is provided in the occupational therapy room, in classrooms, and/ or on campus. 

The occupational therapy space is equipped with tools to facilitate your child’s success in their role of being a student. Occupational therapy works on many skills that promote independence in school, including: coordination, handwriting or typing, and self-regulation.

To learn self-regulation, we use The Alert Program and The Zones of Regulation. For handwriting workbooks and exercises, we use The Size Matters Handwriting Program.

For more information on techniques and strategies used by occupational therapy at Collier, please feel free to reach out to the emails posted below. Collier is proud to have a dedicated occupational therapy team to promote the success of our students.
