Ability Assist Counseling Services (English)Healthy-Resources-Guide.pdfChooseHealthy-ComplementaryCare.pdfErgonomics Consultations
Any OUSD staff can request an ergonomics assessment! Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the people who use them (your physical environment). This is not just for people who spend a lot of time at a desk - it can apply to aspects of classroom set-up, using a laptop on the go, etc. Fill out the Ergo Request Form in this folder and email it to <kimberly.powell@ousd.org> to set up a free consultation and see how you can make your physical environment a better fit for you.
