As the demand for services from therapists in the educational environment continues to grow, both physical and occupational therapists seek innovative and effective ways to meet the identified needs of the child and school environment. Train-the-trainer model of service delivery can be used to meet the needs of both the therapist and the preschool educator in aligning the academic curriculum with age appropriate sensory motor activities. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the results obtained from a pilot survey given to school personnel in an urban preschool setting who participated in a Train-the-trainer model of service delivery.
