• Assist students with safe participation in classroom routines and other school activities.
• Collaborate with Physical Therapists, teachers, paraprofessionals, families, and other members of the student's educational team.
• Monitor student performance and communicate progress and concerns to the supervising Physical Therapist.
• Maintain accurate and timely treatment documentation and service records.
• Follow student IEPs, district procedures, and applicable state and federal requirements.
• Assist with equipment, positioning, mobility devices, and environmental modifications as directed by the supervising PT.
• Travel between assigned school locations when required.
