| Approve the Fieldwork Experience Agreement between Remington College on Behalf of its Orlando Campus and The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida for Occupational Therapy Assistant Fieldwork Experience (Student Services Divison) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| We request approval to enter into an agreement with Remington College on Behalf of its Orlando Campus and The School Board of Hillsborough County for Therapy Assistant fieldwork experience. Remington College requires students enrolled in its Occupational Therapy Assistant program to receive fieldwork experience as part of their instruction. The Occupational Therapy Assistant fieldwork experience programs have been successful in Hillsborough County since 1997.
The Department of Exceptional Student Education (ESE) recognizes the need for trained personnel in Occupational/Physical Therapy due to a current shortage nationwide and has offered to provide the students at Remington College the necessary fieldwork with the district Occupational Therapists at various school sites. Remington College students will assist in assessing, documenting, and developing treatment plans with short-term and long-term goals for students receiving Occupational Therapy services. District personnel will have the opportunity to observe and evaluate the Remington College students for prospective employment in the district. This agreement is for a two-year term beginning upon Board approval. |
