This case report describes the impact of the post-professional doctor of physical therapy curriculum on the role of one physical therapist employed as a special education related service provider. Physical therapists working in the public school setting play an important role in promoting success for students with physical disabilities as providers of direct care and less frequently as consultants to families and other members of the education team. The post-professional doctor of physical therapy curriculum provides therapists in this setting an opportunity to expand their knowledge base to work more effectively and efficiently as a consultant by suggesting innovative, evidence-based ways to utilize resources within the school setting to maximize student function. Student needs must be defined considering the emotional and physical challenges as well as resources to promote student success in the educational environment. This case report discusses a student on the verge of transition from an intermediate school to a middle school. A change in service delivery from direct physical therapy to consultation as needed was made with an outcome of increased student participation, increased physical activity, and improved academic performance.
