PT Strategies for Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
Promoting Inclusion Across School Settings
Are you seeking practical ideas to actively engage as a Physical Therapy (PT) practitioner within your school’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)? Navigating the complexities of MTSS can be challenging for PT practitioners, with uncertainties about which strategies align with the framework and your specific roles within each of the three MTSS levels. Karen’s course is designed to address these concerns.
First, Karen will provide an overview of MTSS, its different levels, and the role of school-based PT practitioners in its implementation. Discover the benefits of participating in MTSS, including support for overall school learning and assistance for struggling students.
Karen will share a variety of concrete PT strategies that can be implemented via MTSS in various school environments, such as the classroom, playground/recess, physical education, mealtime, and more. Real-life case studies of MTSS implementation at various levels will be utilized for a deeper understanding. The course will conclude with practical tips for fostering collaboration, effective communication, and advocacy – essential components for successful MTSS engagement.
Leave the course equipped with tangible MTSS strategies, poised to enhance your effectiveness as a school-based PT or PTA. Closed Captioned in English
