| We request approval to renew the Student Experience Agreement with The District Board of Trustees of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota for Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physical Therapy Assistant fieldwork experience. The District Board of Trustees of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota requires students enrolled in their Occupational Therapy Assistant/Physical Therapy Assistant programs to receive fieldwork experience as part of their instruction.

The college students will assist in assessing, documenting, and developing treatment plans with short-term and long-term goals for district students.

This agreement is for a two-year term beginning July 1, 2015, and ending June 30, 2017. |
