- Plan and implement activities that will support the team identified functional goals and objectives of the student's educational program. These activities might include handwriting, visual motor, visual perception, activities of daily living, fine motor skills, and strength and endurance.
- Recommend writing devices, adaptive equipment, and other assistive technology devices.
- Promote cooperative relationships with instructional staff, related service staff, administrators, and parents to improve the quality of student service.
