Episode 72 of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast: Sarah Leigh
For the seventy-second episode of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast, I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing the Occupational Therapist at my school in Sarah Leigh.
Sarah has been involved in education as an OT in Special Ed for over 14 years and this year has joined my school in a mainstream setting. As an Occupational Therapist Sarah provides a wealth of knowledge and experiences.
Sarah discusses the following:
- About her career to date.
- Why did she decide to become an Occupational Therapist.
- Why did she decide to be an OT in an educational setting.
- What an OT does and what it look like in a school setting.
- What does her role look like in a Special Education setting and also in a mainstream setting.
- Strategies and ideas that can best support students and teachers in the classroom.
- Specific materials to help students in the classroom.
- Are there any experiences, readings/books or professional learning to develop knowledge and understanding around OT.
- One teaching resource you can’t live without.
