Physical Therapy Services

Physical Therapy as a Related Service:

School-based Physical Therapists are essential members of school teams who collaborate with parents and occupational professionals to make sure students with disabilities have access to their educational environments and can participate fully in them. 
Physical therapists care for a student’s unique physical needs and strive to aid students with disabilities in receiving the best and most appropriate education.
Physical Therapists help students with disabilities to become prepared for further education, employment, and independent living.
