  • Conducting comprehensive physical therapy evaluations covering gross motor skills, mobility, strength, balance, coordination and functional performance
  • Developing individualized treatment plans aligned with students' IEP goals
  • Providing direct and consultative PT services in individual and small group settings
  • Collaborating with teachers, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists and other multidisciplinary team members
  • Recommending and monitoring adaptive equipment, mobility devices and seating systems
  • Educating school staff and families on therapeutic strategies and positioning techniques
  • Maintaining documentation in compliance with IDEA, state regulations and district policies
