Savitha Sundar has practiced as an occupational therapist (OT) for over two decades in K-12 schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities, and home health settings. While working as a school-based occupational therapy practitioner for over 15 years in three states, she found her calling in supporting access and belonging for students with extensive support needs in general education contexts and experiences.

​

Dr. Sundar's research focuses on enhancing the knowledge and skillsets of occupational therapy practitioners to provide skilled interventions in K-12 schools, ensuring the authentic inclusion of students with extensive support needs.

​

She believes if schools and communities can find ways to include those with the most complex needs they create a foundation for inclusion that benefits everyone.
