Our PTA students took the classroom outdoors today!
They headed to a local neighborhood park to explore pediatric physical therapy strategies in a real-world, kid-friendly environment. From balance challenges on playground equipment to mobility drills in open spaces, the park became the perfect setting to practice creative, functional interventions.

Because pediatric therapy isn’t just about exercises—it’s about play, imagination, and movement that matters.

In their Neuro Rehab class today, our PTA students put their communication skills into action by teaching each other the Cup Game and the Boot Scootin’ Boogie—using only verbal and tactile cues! From rhythm to two-stepping, they practiced clear instruction, gentle hands-on guidance, and lots of teamwork. Building brains, bodies, and bonds—one beat at a time!

🌟 PTA Students in Action! 🌟Our PTA students had an unforgettable experience today at Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center, where they got a firsthand look at the incredible benefits of hippotherapy! 🐴💙From observing posture and balance improvements to seeing how movement on horseback enhances motor function, our future PTAs gained valuable insight into this unique therapy. Hands-on learning like this helps bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application! A huge thank you to the dedicated staff and riders at Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center for welcoming us and sharing the magic of equine-assisted therapy. 🐎✨
