Last week APTA was invited to meet with the U.S. Secretary of Education to discuss school-based physical therapy services for students with special needs.

Discussions focused on ensuring continuity of care for students with special needs who rely on pediatric PT services in schools.

Key issues APTA discussed:
• Concerns regarding recent restructuring to the Department of ED and its impact on critical programs impacting the pediatric population.
• The need for clearer guidance and resources for therapy providers.
• Improved information on school-based Medicaid claims processes.
• Reduced administrative burden so PTs can spend less time doing paperwork and more time with students.

APTA’s presence in these high-level policy discussions reinforces our commitment to advocating for PTs and protecting access to essential services for students and families.

Thank you to our members whose voices and expertise make this advocacy possible. 🤝

We're excited to welcome Fusion by Ensora Health as APTA Private Practice's newest Industry Partner!

Fusion by Ensora Health is an EHR designed around PT workflows from the start. That’s why it works so well for PT-led clinics today and scales as practices grow or expand into multi-specialty care. Fusion brings scheduling, documentation, and billing together in one connected workflow, so clinics don’t have to piece together multiple systems. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/tT3S50Y8WlO
