School Based Physical Therapist
3 days ago
This school-based physical therapist will work with students from early childhood through high school who have physical disabilities, mobility issues, or developmental delays. The PT's primary role is to ensure these students can benefit from their educational program by addressing physical challenges that interfere with their ability to move around the school, use classroom materials, and participate in daily activities.
Evaluation and assessment
- Conduct assessments: Perform functional, behavioral, and standardized assessments to identify a student's physical needs and how they impact their ability to succeed in school.
- Synthesize results: Write evaluation reports that summarize the findings and guide the development of an intervention plan.
Intervention and treatment
- Develop individualized plans: Create treatment plans tailored to a student's educational needs, which are typically integrated into an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan.
- Provide direct therapy: Work with students individually or in small groups to help them improve motor skills, balance, coordination, strength, and mobility.
- Modify the environment: Suggest and assist with adaptations to the classroom, playground, and other facilities to improve a student's physical access.
- Train staff and parents: Coach and educate teachers, aides, and parents on specific techniques and the use of adaptive equipment to reinforce therapy goals.
- Manage assistive devices: Recommend and monitor assistive technology and adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, and orthoses, to ensure it is used effectively.
Collaboration and communication
- Participate in team meetings: Collaborate with other school staff—including teachers, occupational therapists, and speech therapists—as a member of the IEP team.
- Communicate with parents: Include parents in the IEP process and discussions, as their insights are crucial for creating a specific, individualized plan.
- Consult with outside professionals: Collaborate with medical, social services, and other community providers as needed to support a student's overall development.
Documentation and administration
- Maintain records: Document therapy sessions, evaluations, and other pertinent activities to ensure accountability and track student progress.
- Stay compliant: Adhere to federal and state legislation, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
- Pursue professional development: Stay current with the latest developments and best practices in physical therapy, particularly related to pediatrics and the educational environment.
Essential skills and qualifications
- Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from an accredited program.
- Valid state licensure as a physical therapist.
- Experience in a school-based or pediatric setting is often preferred.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with students, families, and school staff.
- Excellent time-management skills to efficiently handle a caseload of students with varied needs.
- The ability to lift, transfer, and position students and equipment.
- In person is preferred, online is acceptable.
