Description of School-Based Physical Therapy Services and Outcomes for Students with Down Syndrome Series: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders ; 49 (10) 4019-4029: 2019
  • Students with Down syndrome (DS) receive school-based physical therapy (SBPT), however little data exists regarding services and outcomes. Using a prospective observational cohort study our aim was to explore SBPT activities and interventions, and students' goal achievement of 46 students with DS, tracked by 17 physical therapists (PTs). PTs provided on average 24.0 min/week direct service and 11.6 min/week services on behalf of the student. The most frequent activities employed were physical education/recreation, mobility, and sitting/standing/transitions. The most frequent interventions implemented were neuromuscular, mobility, and musculoskeletal. Although students individually met 69.5% of their primary outcome goals, their achievement could not be explained by total minutes of either direct and minutes on behalf of SBPT, nor minutes spent in most frequent activity.

Disability and transition from state education to community life : next steps for parents Series: International Journal of Inclusive Education ; 20 (5) May 2016: 552-567
  • Explores the experiences of mothers of young adults with Down syndrome as their daughters and sons transition from schooling to adult life. The shortcomings identified through the mothers' narratives signal a need for clarity and cohesion in professional and support processes for their disabled family members. The position is offered that the potential of the secondary school as a place for schoollinked service integration and support warrants consideration. Understanding the value and impact of outcomes this model brings for a wide range of vulnerable school leavers would enhance the efforts around individuals such as those whose transition is discussed in this article.
