Physical Therapy (PT) services assist students with a disability to benefit from special education. These disabilities include sensory, postural, and/or motor needs which prevent or significantly limit the student's ability to benefit from educational opportunities. LADSE therapists operate under the educational model where the focus of therapy is on building skills and making modifications to support the student in the learning environment. Some direct therapy is conducted; however, emphasis is placed on indirect services, which include the training of educational team members working daily with the student to assure that PT interventions are ongoing. LADSE maintains an equipment inventory to assist therapists in determining the most effective intervention strategies for students and can be loaned to districts on a timed basis. The Infinitec Consortium is also a resource for equipment loan.
