In this episode Debbie Schwind, recipient of the 2020 NBCOT impact award, shares practical strategies and ideas of how she supported inclusion in her role as a school based OT practitioner. The final take aways from Debbie are 1. Inclusion is a continuum that does not happen when our students turn twenty one. It happens day one. 2. Occupation based interventions in schools would require us to step into student’s different classes including art, music, PE, reading and so on and work our magic. 3. School based OTs must advocate for inclusion to make our interventions more meaningful for our students.
