Minnesota School Based OTP Open Forum

Join us for an Open Forum to help shape the future of school-based occupational therapy in Minnesota!

 Date: Thursday, July 24
 Time: 6:00–7:00 PM CT
 Location: Virtual (link below)

We’re inviting OT practitioners working in Minnesota schools—including public, charter, cooperative, and birth–21 settings—to come together and share:

 Barriers you’ve experienced in school-based OT
 Your hopes and dreams for what statewide practice guidelines could include
 Ideas to ensure our work is aligned with best practices, clearly defined, and supported across settings

Your voice matters. This forum is part of a broader effort to create comprehensive, equity-focused guidelines that reflect the realities of school-based practice in Minnesota. We’ll cover areas like evaluations, embedding the OTPF into day-to-day work, MTSS, Tier 3 interventions, and more.

 Please share with colleagues and your therapy team!

Whether you're passionate about mental health supports, clearer workload language, or just want to feel more seen and supported in your role—we hope you’ll join us to make your voice heard.

If you can’t attend but want to still support the initiative, please consider completing the following needs assessment survey so your voice is included: https://forms.gle/5WNmBwCGFNGvZ8s38

Thank you for helping us elevate and protect the future of school-based OT in Minnesota!
