🚲✨ Physical Therapy Matters in Schools! ✨🚶‍♂️
Meet one of our incredible students and our dedicated physical therapist, Ms. Lucy working hard to build mobility, confidence, and independence! đź’Ş
School-based physical therapy isn't just about movement — it’s about empowering students to access their education and environment fully. Whether it’s using adaptive tricycles, gait trainers, or tailored mobility exercises, PT helps students thrive both inside and outside the classroom. 🙌
Let’s continue to support and expand these vital services so every child has the opportunity to move, grow, and shine. 💚💙
