Statement: occupational therapy provision for children with learning disabilities and/or mild to moderate perceptual and motor deficits.

Abstract

This paper discusses three major issues in the provision of occupational therapy services to persons with learning disabilities and/or mild to moderate perceptual and motor deficits. The issues are (a) the historical influence of federal legislation on the scope and content of occupational therapy services to persons with these disabilities; (b) the provision of occupational therapy services for this population from infancy to adulthood; and (c) the context of service provision and efficacy of occupational therapy models.
