Abstract

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.
