Parents, Guardians, and SDP Staff,

I hope you are doing well and staying healthy during this difficult time, thank you for all you're doing to support our children/students. I've created this page as a central resource for school-based occupational therapy (OT) that I hope you may find helpful as we continue with distance learning.

The purpose of this site is to provide general resources for you to reference as needed. These activities are meant to provide support in review, maintenance, and enrichment of previously introduced skills; and is not a substitute for direct occupational therapy services your child might receive at a brick-and-mortar school. As the activities provided are intended to address a wide range of OT related skills, not all activities will be appropriate for every student. Please contact me if you have questions about what activities are appropriate for your child or if you need support in other areas.

I am available for contact at rgerstl@philasd.org. My office hours are from M-F 10:00-1:00, but I check and respond to my email throughout the day and am available for pre-scheduled times outside of those hours.

Check back for updates!

Sincerely,

Roger Gerstl OTR/L
