Physical Therapy in Schools

School-based physical therapists (PTs) are part of a team that supports a student’s ability to fully engage in their educational environment. Their interventions are designed to help students:

• Travel safely throughout school
• Participate in classroom activities
• Maintain and change positions within the classroom
• Navigate stairs, restrooms, and the cafeteria

While school-based therapy does not address all therapeutic needs, its primary goal is to ensure that students have the physical access they need to succeed in their education.
