Is an occupational therapist involved? In my schools an occupational therapist usually teaches those skills.

If I were teaching the skills I would begin with hand-over-hand instruction with the student placing his hand on mine and then placing my hand on his.  Why is he having trouble zipping and drying body parts?  Is it related to loss of vision or other issues such as weakness in hands...
