Physiotherapy and Neurodiversity
When you think about physiotherapy what comes to mind? After injury recovery perhaps. Supporting you after surgery to regain strength perhaps.
Did you know that physiotherapy can support our students and children who are neurodiverse? Did you know there is a group of therapists who specialize in children?
On today's show, a conversation with Jennifer Halfin. She is the clinic owner of Toronto Kids Physiotherapy and together we talk about how this type of therapy often gets overlooked and how it can support our neurodiverse children.
Highlights:
- What physiotherapy (PT) is and how it's different from occupational therapy
- When to consider connecting with a PT
- Examples of how PT supports different children
- Why seeing an expert in children is important
- Connection between education/school and supporting the body
