An Interview with Dr. Roberta Rosen, School-Based OT

September marks the start of a new school year! When the last Labor Day barbecue is over, students prepare their backpacks and are ready to learn and enjoy a fresh start. At the same time, school-based occupational therapy practitioners prepare to provide services that are impactful and meaningful, based on their students' needs. They focus on academics, play, leisure, social participation, self-care skills, as well as transition and work skills. This month, we interviewed Roberta Rosen, OTD, OTR/L, a school-based occupational therapist for the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE). In this article, Roberta shares her experience and valuable insights.
