    I was surprised that one main aspect of occupational therapy in a school setting focused on improving writing skills. However, a large part of Mrs. Grosch’s therapy involved field trips and social outings for the students receiving therapy, which I had not expected.

The field trip experience was different than I had expected it to be; Mrs. Grosch made every aspect of the hike through the park related to occupational therapy. She set up swings between trees for sensory integration, and social participation was emphaszied through a game of kickball.…
