This article is extremely relevant for students and OT's who are working in the school systems. Push-in would refer to working with a student in their classroom environment, and pull-out would be taking them outside the classroom to work. This study examined the current practice patterns of school-based therapists to determine whether more push-in than pull-out services were being used. This study also identified facilitators and barriers to providing more push-in services by school-based therapists.
