Improving Community-Based Preschool Teacher Confidence
Stancliff, Sherry R.; Baist, Heidi
Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, v14 n1 p59-74 2021
The project used a mixed quantitative and qualitative pretest-posttest design to determine the impact of consultation and collaboration of occupational therapy services in a faith-based preschool. Preschool teachers were educated on the importance of motor skill development in preschool students, as well as how to create motor skill opportunities within the classroom setting. Preschool teachers who completed the 6-week educational modules with consultation indicated improved confidence in abilities to incorporate motor development activities into the preschool day. The project supported consultation between the occupational therapist and teacher as a successful method of intervention to meet student needs.
