Abstract
Occupational therapy practitioners can support and collaborate with teachers to meet the unique needs of their diverse student population. The purpose of this article is to describe federal mandates that promote support and collaboration, outline potential ways that occupational therapy practitioners can intervene to support student achievement in general education, and describe how one occupational therapist (OT) collaborated with other members of a school-based problem-solving team to provide early intervening services to students in general education in her state.Keywords
