Abstract
This paper has identified the need for evaluation research regarding school-based occupational therapy programs, proposed a strategy for the current and future evaluation of school-based occupational therapy programs, and discussed the need and rationale for the process of dissemination as a component of such evaluation research. The purpose of evaluation research is to maintain and improve school-based occupational therapy programs. If carried out, evaluation research will not have a sudden or significant impact on school personnel, but more likely it will foster a "gradual, incremental" (Aiken & Daillak, 1979, p. 48) support for school-based occupational therapy programs.
