  I shadowed an occupational therapist as she worked in the Coventry public school district as she worked with kids on vocational skills, sensory modulation, handwriting, and behaviors. She worked one-on-one with students and in small groups, and over the few months I shadowed her, I saw the children's progress. I worked with her on documentation, group planning, and interventions with the students. She worked in the elementary school, middle school, and high school settings.

The occupational therapist made adaptive equipment for the clients and educated the clients on the correct use.
