Occupational Therapy Support In ECE Setting 

An occupational therapist can play a key role in supporting both children and their teachers within a preschool classroom setting. They help children build important functional skills such as motor coordination, independence, sensory processing, self-regulation, and social participation, which directly impact a child’s ability to engage in daily classroom routines. For teachers, the occupational therapist serves as a collaborative partner—sharing strategies for classroom set-up, offering tools to support diverse learning needs, and modeling interventions that help children stay engaged and successful in their learning environment. By bridging the gap between a child’s individual needs and the classroom expectations, an occupational therapist fosters an inclusive environment where all children can thrive.
