Why AOT?

A Collaborative Approach to School-Based Related Services

At AOT, our success is built on a collaborative, district-centered approach to delivering high-quality school-based OT, PT, and SLP related services. We partner with Pennsylvania school districts to design therapy programs that align with student needs, educational priorities, and compliance requirements.

Customized School-Based OT, PT, and SLP Programs

Our team of devoted therapists evaluate student needs, IEP goals, and district objectives to develop effective school-based Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), and Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) services.

We focus on:

  • Supporting student access to learning

  • Aligning therapy with educational outcomes

  • Maintaining IDEA and IEP compliance

  • Integrating services within the school environment

Data-Driven Oversight and Progress Monitoring

AOT works as an extension of your educational team. We collaborate closely with administrators, special education leaders, and multidisciplinary staff to ensure clear communication, consistent program oversight, regulatory compliance, and student-centered outcomes.

Our proactive partnership model helps districts navigate staffing challenges, evolving student needs, and service coordination.

Exceptional Dedication and Communication
"I wanted to take few moments to send feedback about Marissa. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is committed to students, dedicated to their progress and an advocate for students. Her level of communication is exceptional. She follows up and pays attention to details. I also appreciate her flexibility as needed. I cannot say enough how much I love working with her!" ~Special Education Administrator
A True Asset to the Classroom Team
"I just wanted to take a moment to write to you and let you know what an exceptional job Becky has been doing in the Octorara classroom. Becky has been absolutely wonderful to work with over these last few months. We have had many IEPs, evaluations, and revisions. Becky is always getting her information into the IEPs early. Whenever I have needed progress reports or had questions regarding a student’s OT skills, she is always willing and able to answer. If I send an email, she is the first to respond. She has been a huge help, and I thought it was important to acknowledge her hard work and dedication.” ~Special Education Teacher
Professionalism and Partnership

Nicole is a true team player—always willing to discuss student progress and collaboratively plan to support each student’s success. Nicole’s professionalism and commitment to students are evident in everything she does, and I wanted to be sure her excellent work was recognized.” ~Special Education Supervisor
