Abstract | BACKGROUND: PURPOSE: This paper describes Partnering for Change (P4C), an innovative, empirically derived school health service delivery model for children with DCD. KEY ISSUES: The model emphasizes the partnership of the occupational therapist with educators and parents to change the life and daily environment of a child. The P4C partnership focuses on capacity building through collaboration and coaching in context. The model uses a tiered approach which includes whole class instruction, dynamic performance analysis, and monitoring response to intervention. IMPLICATIONS: P4C is a model that responds to the needs of this population, addresses issues identified in research, and provides a continuum of services designed to build capacity.
