Residents in our Pediatric Physical Therapy Residency have the opportunity to complete 75 hours in the Early Intervention setting during their year at St. Luke’s. Hours are completed in the home, community, and daycares while working with clients under 3 years of age. Our Residents also attend a didactic course sponsored by the APTA Pediatric Residency and Fellowship SIG, where they learn more about the Early Intervention system and how it differs from pediatric physical therapy in an outpatient setting.
