AB  - Pediatric  physical  therapy  is  a  specialty  practice  that  addresses  the  needs  of  the  child  and  family.  Care  is  provided  through  support,  guidance,  and  interventions  that  are  family-centered,  culturally  appropriate,  age  appropriate  (0−21  years),  and  that  improve  quality  of  life  and  function.  Pediatric  treatment  settings  can  vary  among  the  acute  neonatal  intensive  care  unit,  the  acute  hospital,  an  outpatient  setting,  school,  and  home,  to  address  a  few.  Pediatric  therapists  treat  infants  and  children  with  disabilities,  typical  developing  children,  and  adolescents  and  young  adults  with  and  without  disabilities.  Some  unique  aspects  of  pediatric  physical  therapy  include  the  understanding  of  child  development  as  it  relates  to  behavior  management,  developmental  models,  family  interactions,  social  trends,  reimbursement  issues,  and  the  requirements  of  working  in  diverse  areas.  Table  10–1  describes  typical  development.  Physical  therapy  models  of  delivery  can  include  the  therapist  working  independently  (unidisciplinary),  the  therapist  evaluating  the  patient  and  then  meeting  with  other  professionals  to  discuss  the  case  (multidisciplinary),  joint  examination  with  other  professionals  (transdisciplinary),  and  working  with  equal  participation  in  serving  the  child  and  family  (collaborative).
