The following capstone project is an educational presentation designed to advocate for occupational therapy (OT) in the school-based setting by increasing the understanding of OT and promoting collaboration with the educational team. The presentation is based on research confirming the limited understanding of the role of OT in the school-based setting and the importance of collaboration among school professionals to reinforce recommended interventions and improve student outcomes. A PowerPoint slideshow and lecture presents the information and evidence, along with an opportunity for interactive discussion between between participants to initiate the collaborative process. The project aligns with the initiatives of the Centennial Vision, OT Practice Framework: Domain and Process, the Person-Environment-Occupation model and the Four Quadrant Model of Facilitated Learning frame of reference.
