Occupational therapy
School-based occupational therapy practitioners support academic achievement and social participation by promoting engagement in everyday activities within all school routines, including recess, classroom, and cafeteria time. They help children fulfill their role as students and prepare them for college, career, and community life. (Source: American Occupational Therapy Association, aota.org)
Physical therapy
Physical therapists work with individuals who have childhood-onset conditions across their lifespan when an illness, injury, or condition limits their ability to move or function in daily life. (Source: Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy, pediatricapta.org)
