October is NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH!!!
Did you know that PTs in the schools are different from clinic-based PTs? In the school setting, they help children have equal access to quality education by helping them to access the physical space in the school. They ensure students have the same learning opportunities as other students that may be more difficult to achieve due to a physical limitation. We love our PT, Kathy Foley, and appreciate all she does to help the students across the division!!!
