At Rebecca School, physical therapists might guide kids through: developmental activities, such as rolling, crawling and walking, as well as balance and coordination activities. We utilize obstacle courses to help our students improve their motor planning abilities, that is, their ability to create an idea, sequence the necessary steps and execute their plan. We work very closely with our OTs, SLPs, teachers, assistant teachers and mental health clinicians to provide the best intervention for each student. Physical therapists may push into a classroom to provide individualized support to a student during a movement group, adaptive physical education (APE) or other classroom activity to set them up for success. We may also pull students out of their classroom and provide treatment in a sensory gym, APE gym, hallway, rooftop playground, stairwell or in the community. To ensure carryover of all this work at home, our therapists communicate with our families once a month in addition to the Movement of the Month initiative. Each month we focus on one movement that correlates to a developmental motor milestone. Many of our students met these milestones late and have not solidified them. This program allows the students to practice these movements in the school environment and at home with the goal of strengthening their motor skills and, thus, their overall development. A letter is sent home with an explanation of the movement, its importance, how to help the student perform the movement and how to modify the movement if needed so that families may try these movements at home.
