Itasca ISD

Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 🎒✏️✨

Today, Itasca ISD is celebrating the incredible school-based OTs and OTAs who help our students thrive. In line with the 2026 theme, "Participation Matters," our occupational therapy team works hard every day behind the scenes to ensure every child can fully engage in school life.

From mastering handwriting and opening lunch boxes to finding the perfect sensory tools for focus, our OTs break down barriers to learning, play, and independence.
Join us in giving a huge THANK YOU to our amazing OT staff for empowering our students and supporting our classrooms! 💙
