More Meaningful Work With a Schedule That Supports Your Life
A school-based Physical Therapy career gives you the opportunity to make a long-term difference while maintaining greater balance outside of work.

- Improve balance, coordination, strength, and mobility
- Participate more independently in classroom and school activities
- Access playgrounds, transportation, and other areas of the school
- Build greater confidence in their physical abilities

You will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students, families, educators, and other therapy professionals while seeing the impact of your care extend beyond individual treatment sessions.

As a School-Based Physical Therapist, you will evaluate students and develop individualized therapy recommendations designed to improve functional participation within the educational environment.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Complete comprehensive Physical Therapy evaluations
- Identify mobility, positioning, accessibility, and functional needs
- Develop individualized goals and treatment recommendations
- Participate in Individualized Education Program meetings
- Contribute clinical recommendations to student IEPs
- Provide individualized school-based Physical Therapy services
- Collaborate with teachers, families, school staff, and other therapy professionals
- Recommend equipment, environmental modifications, and supportive strategies when appropriate
- Monitor student progress and adjust interventions based on functional outcomes
- Maintain accurate and timely documentation
- Educate school teams on strategies that support student mobility and participation
- Supervise and support Physical Therapist Assistants
- Help ensure high-quality, coordinated therapy services across assigned schools
