The purpose of this project was to design, implement, and validate a preservice training program to enable occupational therapy students to work effectively in rural public schools. The project sought to improve the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of these students in regard to the unique social, environmental, and educational needs of the rural setting. The project validated the rural training model by collecting and analyzing ongoing data from project staff, students, and clinical and fieldwork personnel; it also developed and implemented a plan to disseminate and replicate the validated model. This report describes project design, findings, impact of project findings, and dissemination activities. A section of resource materials contains background information and article reprints on the topics of preassessment, service provision, time management issues, and common disabilities.
