Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and education students receive IPEC mini-grant

Annie Chambers, Megan Hyde and James Walrath, all second year students in the Department of Physical Therapy, recently received an IPEC mini-grant to form an interprofessional team with occupational therapy and education students to perform a consultation for a school-aged child/adolescent regarding ways to enhance participation in daily school and community activities.

This service learning project enabled the students, supervised by faculty from the Departments of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Education, to experience firsthand the opportunities that are created when professionals from different health care and education disciplines work together to solve problems for an individual with unique, complex and specialized needs.
