Providing School Based Physical Therapy - IDEA 2010
|
The Providing School-Based Physical Therapy Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) course will provide information on the delivery of physical therapy services and decision-making that is necessary to support a free and appropriate public education for all children. The nationally recognized speakers will address the content of IDEA Part B and school-based service delivery issues.
This 2-day program is intended for physical therapists that provide, or intend to provide, related services in schools.
Participants will be able to:
- discuss the salient features of IDEA that affect physical therapy to children under Part B
- describe the effect of other federal legislation on providing school-based physical therapy services
- make decisions regarding eligibility for services, service delivery strategies and methodology, and conflict resolution under IDEA; and
- make appropriate decisions regarding intervention, assistive technology, and transition services
The content of the 2010 School-Based Physical Therapy course will be updated from our previous four conferences; however, repeated attendance is not encouraged.
