School-based Pediatric Physical Therapy

School-based pediatric physical therapy focuses on helping children with physical challenges participate effectively in school activities. Physical therapists work with students who may have difficulty with movement, balance, or coordination due to various conditions, such as developmental delays, cerebral palsy, or injuries. They create tailored therapy activities to improve strength, mobility, and motor skills, allowing students to engage fully in classrooms, playgrounds, and other school settings. This type of therapy aims not just to enhance physical abilities, but also to support social interactions and overall school success, promoting independence and confidence in a learning environment.
