The book offers a pediatric occupational therapy approach to dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, grounded in evidence-based practices. Bringing motor coordination, sensory processing, executive function, and visual-spatial skills together, the book narrows the gap between academic challenges and OT interventions. It provides the foundation to develop professional reasoning, practical strategies, tools, resources, and case studies to support occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) facilitate meaningful progress in students' academic and life skills. Additionally, it empowers OTPs to evaluate, develop treatment plans and interventions to support occupations for students struggling with these learning differences by focusing on the foundational skills they need to thrive. Written for practicing and future OTPs this text is broad enough to be integrated into an occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant curriculum yet specific enough to serve as a shelf reference for those in practice.
