Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools, and Early Intervention

Occupational therapy practices supporting population health are emphasized in the American Occupational Therapy Association's Vision 2025 statement, yet limited examples of how practitioner's design, construct, and evaluate health promotion practices exist in the literature. This manuscript describes how occupational therapy providers collaborated with early childhood education administrators, teachers, and parents to create a novel approach to supporting young children's development and learning called the Occupational Therapy Embedded in Early Childhood Education (OTEEC) Partnership Model. Educational design research informed how the OTEEC Partnership Model was developed and refined via the integration of scientific inquiry within the context of program development. We completed literature reviews, conducted in-depth interviews with key decision-makers, hosted stakeholder focus groups, and engaged in critical reflection as an occupational therapy provider team to arrive at the foundational principles and unique practices of the OTEEC Partnership Model. Early childhood education center administrators, teachers, and parents believed the strengths of the OTEEC Partnership Model included universal access to an occupational therapy provider, collaborative partnerships with teachers and parents, and integrating occupational therapy practices within an early childhood classroom context. Occupational therapy providers can use the procedures described in this manuscript to develop innovative practices focused on population health and may consider if elevating their own classroom involvement, interprofessional collaboration, and partnerships with parents can enhance their current practices. Occupational therapists may also consider how to create new access pathways for children who might benefit from occupational therapy yet do not qualify for services within current practice guidelines.

This article examines the role of digital applications in teaching handwriting skills to school-aged children and explores the benefits and challenges associated with their use. Handwriting is a foundational skill for children’s learning and communication, but handwriting instruction in school systems faces significant challenges. Research on the frequency and implementation of applications that focus on teaching handwriting in classrooms remains limited. Further research is needed to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of using technology to enhance handwriting skills and to determine optimal approaches for implementing digital applications in handwriting instruction. Occupational therapists play a vital role in advocating for evidence-based practices and individualizing training to address specific needs, thereby enhancing the success of young learners. Evidence-based research and awareness of available methods for handwriting instruction utilizing digital applications are crucial for implementation within a classroom setting.
