I have been working as an Occupational Therapist (OT)  in WCSD since 2002.  I cover Oak Grove and Wappingers Junior High school. An OT helps a student to improve fine motor skills  (handwriting, coloring, and cutting), visual motor/visual perceptual skills, upper body strength and coordination, activities of daily living, and sensory processing skills.  I work closely with  teachers so that the student benefits and uses these skills necessary to participate effectively in the classroom.
