T2  - Meeting the Physical Therapy Needs of Children
AB  - Children  with  disabilities  often  require  multiple  assistive  technology  (AT)  devices  to  meet  their  needs  across  environments.  Physical  therapists,  in  collaboration  with  other  team  members,  will  assess  for  other  technologies  after  addressing  the  child's  positioning.  As  discussed  in  Chapter  17,  proper  positioning  promotes  improved  function,  movement,  and  participation  in  activities.  When  a  child  is  well  positioned  and  can  move  about  his  or  her  environment  independently,  the  need  for  communication  and  other  technologies  increases.  This  chapter  provides  information  pertinent  to  physical  therapists  working  as  members  of  AT  teams  when  addressing  the  remaining  categories  of  AT.
