Nearly 20% of occupational therapy practitioners work in school settings, requiring current, effective, and evidence-based best practices for students. Reflecting the extensiveness of occupational therapy practice in schools, the second edition of this bestseller contains best practices from preschool to postsecondary transitions, from ADLs to driving. The latest edition of Best Practices for Occupational Therapy in Schools promotes best school practices, education, research, and policy and provides school occupational therapy practitioners with current, effective information to use in their daily practices. This comprehensive text details working with multiple student populations, transition planning, assistive technology, enhancing student participation, and work readiness. Appendixes provide resources for educators using the text in the classroom, documentation, assessment tools, liability issues, and templates for the occupational profile and occupational therapy intervention plan.

I have checked this book out 3 times in a row from my university library and will now order a copy from AOTA. It is an excellent and in-depth resource that starts with the basics (history of OT in schools, how to apply OT framework, understanding the public education system) and them moves into systems-level strategies, population-based strategies, and evidence. It is a very dense book - 600+ pages with no fluff. I find myself referring to it daily. It is a great source for those who are moving into the role of providing much more consultation/embedded strategies/school and classroom-level supports - not the old pull-out/scheduled appointments model. In my opinion, it's the best source for those at the front of a shift in the OT in schools role. Well worth the money. Now if only I could get these two authors to be my personal career mentors!
