This observation experience will provide physical therapy students with an introduction to pediatric physical therapy practice within a specialized school serving children and young adults with brain-based disabilities and complex medical needs. Students will observe licensed physical therapists as they support mobility, positioning, postural control, transfers, adaptive equipment use, therapeutic exercise, and participation in educational routines.

The primary objectives are to increase students’ understanding of the physical therapist’s role within an interdisciplinary school-based team; demonstrate how examination findings and functional goals guide intervention; introduce students to adaptive seating, standing, gait, and mobility equipment; and promote awareness of safety, communication and family-centered care
This is an observation-only experience, and students will not provide hands-on treatment, independently assist with transfers, or participate in clinical decision-making.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam or disabled veteran. YAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

About YAI

Our Roots YAI was launched in February of 1957 out of a small school in Brooklyn, New York. Initially staffed by Co-Founders Bert MacLeech and Pearl Maze MacLeech alone, their pilot program served just seven people. According to Bert, from its very beginning YAI has been dedicated to providing innovative services for the I/DD (intellectual and/or developmental disabilities) community. MacLeech envisioned a, “total life adjustment approach, emphasizing personal growth, social responsibility, employment goals, and the development of independence for the individual.” At a time when institutional living was the norm for people with I/DD, this vision was nothing short of revolutionary.
