Occupational  ​and Physical Therapy (OT/PT)

Occupational and Physical Therapy services assist students with disabilities to benefit from special education.  These disabilities include sensory, postural, and/or motor needs which prevent or significantly limit the student’s ability to benefit from educational opportunities.

LADSE therapists operate under the educational model where the focus of therapy is on building skills and making modifications to support the student in the learning environment.  Direct therapy is conducted, along with an emphasis on indirect services, which include the training of educational team members working daily with the student to assure that OT and PT interventions are ongoing.

LADSE maintains an equipment inventory to assist therapists in determining the most effective intervention strategies for students that can be loaned to districts on a timed basis.

OT/PT Resources:
Occupational and physical therapy tips and resources can be accessed through the following links.  Please check back frequently as we continue to update content.
