Occupational
and Physical Therapy Statement
of Purpose
Occupational and Physical Therapy are two related services which may be required to assist a child with disabilities to benefit from special education. Related services must be related to and supportive of the child's educational program. The goal of educationally relevant therapy is to minimize the effects of the student's handicapping condition on his/her ability to participate in the educational process.

Laws were passed in 1975 "To ensure that all children with
disabilities have available to them a free
appropriate public education which includes
special education and related services to
meet their unique needs."
