Services consist of evaluation of referred students in the area of physical therapy, a written report reflecting the findings of the evaluation, participation in a multidisciplinary team meeting regarding the evaluation results, development of goals and objectives for those students identified as needing physical therapy services, and provision of physical therapy services for identified students.
