Abstract
Pediatric occupational therapists aim to promote the quality of life and functional abilities of children (Bowyer & Cahill, 2010). Pediatric Occupational Therapy can be provided through both school-based and non-school based settings to children who require varying sorts of special attention. The school setting requires therapists to focus on academic tasks that require less intensive equipment than non-school based occupational therapy (State of Connecticut Department of Education, 1999). Non-school based pediatric occupational therapists, however, are not as easily accessible as schoolbased therapists and require out-of-pocket or insurance-based pay. Consequently, it was presumed that one practice setting may be more useful for some children while its counterpart may prove to be more successful for others. However, it is now believed that pediatric occupational therapy is most beneficial when the two settings collaborate with one another even though they may differ.
