October is "National Physical Therapy Month"

To celebrate the impact of physical therapists, the American Physical Therapy Association has designated October as National Physical Therapy Month.

At Lake Travis ISD, school-based physical therapists (PTs) are part of a team of service providers who support a student’s ability to access his or her educational environment. As specialists in movement, PTs assist a student’s physical participation in a variety of settings throughout the school day. Using their unique expertise in movement and function, our school-based PTs ensure a free and appropriate education for students with disabilities to prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.

The following physical therapists (pictured below) serve students across LTISD:
