The manual aims to assist occupational and physical therapists in describing the differences between school-based therapy and clinic-based therapy, recognizing the primary role of school-based therapy in special education, identifying the therapist's responsibilities in the Individualized Education Program development process, describing the therapist's role in delivering a full range of therapy services, and determining an appropriate distribution of the therapist's time. The manual distinguishes clinic therapy from school therapy; defines legal terms relating to school therapy; describes the responsibilities of therapists, therapist assistants, and classroom aides; discusses the therapist's role on the multidisciplinary team and in the referral process; lists services provided by therapists; outlines the range of intervention services; presents a functional approach to treatment; and suggests a formula for determining caseloads. Appendices contain sample job descriptions, excerpts from Public Law 94-142, licensing requirements in Oregon, a list of acronyms, a directory of Oregon direct service providers, and a review of "related services" requirements under Public Law 94-142.
