OVERVIEW
At CNG, Occupational Therapy helps to ensure that students can participate in the full breadth of school activities such as sustaining attention to learning tasks, exerting focused control to relevant tasks at hand, develop the motor planning and sequencing required to participate in learning tasks such as playing a musical instrument, reading a book, expressing ideas in writing or regulating emotions and actions to promote successful interactions. The whole purpose of school-based occupational therapy is to help students succeed in the learning environment. We believe in the potential of early identification and multi level systems of support to target all students, that is why our OT department has developed the Sensory Motor Program.
Tier 1: Sensory motor Class: Core instructional intervention to all students in early childhood designed to stimulate neurodevelopment and promote students participation in formal learning
Tier 2: Small group sessions for 6 to 8 weeks for students in K4 who need additional enrichment and stimulation
Tier 3: Occupational therapy focused on students’ individual goals
