The role of the physical therapist includes evaluating and implementing appropriate environmental adaptations and assistive technology for the child in collaboration with the school personnel. The physical therapist will provide intervention services to maximize function and promote optimal positioning to prevent skin breakdown and deformity. The physical therapist must provide information to school personnel concerning the medical and physical issues the student with myelodysplasia presents with, in addition to how these issues can affect the student’s success in the school environment.
