Could this be a possible job for me?

Schools don't have enough funding to assign an O.T to an individual student. Even good special needs schools are unlikely to have any full time O.T's. I work in a Special Needs School in England with very good funding. We have 4 full-time on-site Speech Therapists and a Physical Sensory Therapist. We have two part-time O.T's for the autistic children and one part time O.T for the physically disabled children. They come in once a term, assess the children, set up a program for the class teaching assistants to follow and leave till next term when they reassess and make any necessary adjustments to the program. The Physical Sensory Therapist is full time and ends up carrying out a lot of the O.T programs as well as running messy play therapy sessions and BEAM. She's always with a child unless she's writing up reports on them but has to deal with the sensory needs of the entire school, so only gets to see each child every other term. Teaching Assistants are usually assigned to classes rather than a specific child (unless within mainstream) but the classes are generally small. Also the pay is rubbish. To be one-on-one with a child in a special needs school, they're likely to have severe medical needs. One-on-one doesn't usually benefit autistic children anyway, as if only working with one person they tend to be unable to generalise and will only follow learnt instructions from their one-on-one. It's better to have a class team of about 3 who rotate between the children to help them generalise.
