Occupational Therapy

The Occupational Therapy Department at ZED supports students in developing the skills necessary for daily activities and academic success. Our team works with students to improve fine motor skills, sensory processing, and self-regulation. Through individualized therapy sessions and classroom-based strategies, we help students enhance their ability to participate in school routines, from writing and organizing materials to interacting with peers. Our Occupational Therapists collaborate closely with teachers and families to create tailored interventions that promote independence and well-being for all students.
