Top 10 Reasons School OTs Are the Real MVPs
They Turn Handwriting Horror Stories into Legible Masterpieces – Because let’s be honest, some kids' writing looks like a secret code for aliens.
They Make "Therapy" Feel Like Playtime – Kids think they’re just playing with cool toys, but little do they know… they’re actually learning! Mwahaha!
They Teach Kids How to Sit Still (Without Duct Tape!) – Wiggly, fidgety, can’t-sit-for-more-than-10-seconds kids? OTs got this.
They Save Teachers from Endless Eraser Marks – "No, Jimmy, the letters go on the lines, not dancing around them like confetti!"
They Help Kids Master the Art of Not Falling Out of Their Chairs – Core strength is a thing, and OTs are out here preventing daily wipeouts.
They Know More About Sensory Meltdowns Than Anyone – And they have more fidget tools than an entire Amazon warehouse.
They Turn Shoe-Tying into a Superpower – No more tripping over laces like a cartoon character.
They Are Basically Kid Whisperers – Can’t get your student to focus? OT walks in, waves a magic sensory tool, and BOOM—instant engagement.
They Help Kids Hold a Pencil Like a Human, Not a Claw Machine – Because "gorilla grip" isn't supposed to be a writing technique.
They Actually Love Their Jobs – Who else gets paid to play with Play-Doh, teach ninja-level fine motor skills, and make kids’ lives better every day?
