A2 - Fiss, Alyssa LaForme Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Meeting the Physical Therapy Needs of Children, Third Edition AB - A well-developed plan of care is the vehicle to greater functional independence and participation for children with neurological disorders. The processes of examination and evaluation outlined by the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice (American Physical Therapy Association [APTA], 2014) lead to the plan of care. In developing such a plan, therapists integrate fundamental principles of pediatric physical therapy, such as family-centered care, a focus on individualized functional outcomes, and a commitment to the interdisciplinary process. Therapists rely on a working knowledge of (1) impairments of body structures and functions, activity limitations, and participation restrictions associated with each child’s specific diagnosis; (2) principles of motor development, motor control, and motor learning; and (3) the extant evidence for pediatric neurological interventions.
