Every Child Benefits: The Occupational Therapy Embedded in Early Childhood (OTEEC) Partnership Model
Welcome to the OTEEC Partnership Model
A population-focused, place-based approach to early intervention through occupational therapy and early childhood education center partnerships.
What is the OTEEC Partnership Model?
The Occupational Therapy Embedded in Early Childhood Education (OTEEC) Model is an innovative approach that integrates occupational therapy (OT) services directly into early childhood education settings. OTEEC provides all children, regardless of developmental status, immediate access to supportive and preventative occupational therapy practices within their everyday classroom routines. By fostering collaboration among therapists, teachers, and families, the OTEEC model promotes children's learning, confidence, and overall development in a natural, inclusive environment.
