Abstract
Issues related to occupational and physical therapy services for handicapped students are outlined. Among the issues addressed are the efficacy of therapy treatments, who should receive therapy, the frequency of services, and the effects of therapy on non-motor domains. Results of an experiment are reported which tested hypotheses about several of these issues. Findings suggest that the developmental therapy treatment affected gross motor gains for preschool children who exhibited moderate but not mild motor delays, and that one treatment per week was as effective as three treatment sessions per week.Keywords
