Do you need an OT for Dysgraphia Evaluations?

In this episode, I’m talking about a question that comes up a lot in school psych circles, do I need to include an occupational therapist for dysgraphia evaluations?
I walk through three practical tips to help you feel more confident, more coordinated, and more prepared when this topic comes up in meetings. We get into why dysgraphia can mean very different things depending on who is using the term, and why that matters so much before an evaluation even begins.
I also break down how to coordinate with your evaluation team, when OT involvement makes sense, and why executive functioning and exclusionary factors still deserve a close look.
This one is clear, practical, and a really helpful reminder that strong dysgraphia evaluations are about asking better questions, understanding the full picture, and making sure students get the support that actually fits.
