You co-treat three children with Down syndrome with the physical therapy assistant. All three children have difficulty with larger motor eye-hand coordination activities. Scheduling these students has been difficult due to the large number of services they receive. How could you address all of these issues?
  1. Inform the teachers of these students that therapy services are required as part of the children’s IEPs. Therefore, therapy sessions must be given priority.
  2. Plan a large motor group with the physical therapy assistant and provide services to the children in a group setting.
  3. Continue to co-treat the children individually with the physical therapy assistant and be as flexible as possible with scheduling.
  4. Treat the children separate from physical therapy and address your own goals.
Explanation
Answer: B. To address the eye-hand coordination problems with all three children, you could plan a large motor group with the physical therapy assistant and provide services to the children in a group setting. This solution would also resolve your scheduling difficulty because fewer therapy times would be required during the children’s school week.
