Service overview
Physical Therapy connected to educational goals.
School-based physical therapy focuses on the functional movement skills a student needs to participate safely and successfully in an educational environment. Support may take place in classrooms, hallways, physical education settings, therapy spaces, and other parts of the school day.
We work with administrators to understand mandates, caseloads, schedules, program needs, and required provider qualifications. Services can be coordinated for an individual student, an established caseload, a specialized program, or a staffing vacancy.
