Physical Therapy Month- PT Team and Info

In honor of Physical Therapy Month, we’re excited to introduce the ELC Physical Therapists who support our students every day:

We also want to take this opportunity to share some helpful resources that clarify the difference between school-based physical therapy and medical-based physical therapy, as this distinction can sometimes be confusing.

School-Based Physical Therapy Focuses on helping students access their educational environment and participate meaningfully in their learning. Services are provided to support the goals outlined by the IEP team.

Medical-Based Physical Therapy Centers on rehabilitation and addressing medical needs related to impairments and functional limitations. This type of therapy is typically provided in clinical or outpatient settings.

To help further clarify, we’ve included a video and two fact sheets below that explain these differences in more detail.
