This session explores the differences between the medical model and the school model of physical therapy, focusing on how these frameworks impact service delivery. Participants will examine the distinct roles and goals of physical therapists within each model. The session will also address the process of consultations and dismissals in school settings, providing strategies for collaborating with educators, parents, and other service providers.
