Pediatric physical therapy.
Curious, how do you handle it when a child's dealing with trauma or family issues alongside their physical condition? Do you get trained for that side too, or bring in other specialists> Pediatric physical therapy//.
I generally work with the kids who are more physically (and usually cognitively) disabled - the kids that people don't know exist. Most of these kids get school OT, PT, Speech, vision, and also nursing care for meds, feeding tubes, trachs, breathing treatments, etc. We very much work as a team and we work pretty closely with the families.We reach out to school counselors if a kid or family seems to be struggling.
Regarding abuse and neglect, we are mandated reporters. Luckily, in my 20 years in this job, I've only had one incident where i considered calling child protective services and that was on a teacher who i felt was putting a child in a physically dangerous situation. I've had to participate in a couple of interviews after others called for neglect/extremely poor hygiene (bugs) 🤮.
Interesting, geriatric and neuro here!
Fun! I love the functional piece of neuro. School-based is similar- fire drills, lunch lines, field trips, ...
If you ever need a very interesting brain to scan, ping me. I'd especially love if someday autism is proven by scan (we just got closer as I read) and not by human guesstimates.
I've seen some very wild scans in my time, especially a hydrocephalus mri. Autism isn't an area in familiar with (except I work with people with functional neurological disorder that seem to have a higher rate of autism). I imagine however over time that the functional MRI might be able to identify autism to some extent
