Large transitions in education significantly affect students with disabilities, influencing their academic performance and future success. This review examined how school-based occupational therapists support these transitions from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Presenters found evidence of diverse roles for therapists and that consistency in terminology and knowledge of relevant policies would enhance support.
