SST - Student Support Teams  

Our student support teams are collaborative, problem-solving groups that include school staff and all related professionals. These teams are often made up of classroom teachers, intervention specialists, school psychologists, administrators, and relevant related service providers (occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language therapists, counselors, etc.). The goals of the Student Support Teams are to address problems to help students achieve, and often this is through the use of interventions designed and monitored by the team. When occupational therapists and physical therapists are involved, we often provide relevant intervention strategies to support the student in their least restrictive educational setting. The OTs and PTs also collaborate with school staff and families to determine the interventions best suited to meet the particular needs of the at risk student. Below are a variety of tip sheets including intervention ideas that we may provide at these meetings.
