16IDEA, IFSP and IEP: pediatric PT in school systemsSchool-based physical therapy supports access to education and participation, not simply improvement on clinic-based impairment tests.17Collaboration with OT, SLP, families and educatorsCommunication, feeding, hand skills, mobility and learning are intertwined—but the expertise and safety scope of each profession matter.18Genetic syndromes: clinical clues, not stereotypesThe syndrome presentations are best used as a clinical recognition atlas: identify the systems that need attention and the questions to ask, not a rigid profile that every child must fit.Each chapter is a short public lesson. The more detailed lecture-derived companion notes are being prepared separately.
