Using Home Video Equipment for the Handicapped Child: Suggestion from the Field

Mrs. Michael is Staff Physical Therapist, Department of Physical Therapy, Child Development Center, The University of Tennessee, 711 Jefferson Ave, Memphis, TN 38105 (USA).

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

In the field of pediatric physical therapy, the physical therapist (PT) often must ask the parents to perform daily therapeutic activities with the child. Even with a written set of instructions complete with drawings, a person who is not a PT can forget exactly how to do the exercises to achieve the desired results. Verbal instructions and demonstrations may also leave the parent uncertain of proper techniques once the parent and child have left the physical therapy department. If the child is enrolled in day care or school, the parent may need to show the teacher what activities will benefit the child during the day. In many instances, PTs do not have time to visit the child's home or school setting because of heavy case loads; therefore, the parent and teacher could benefit from visual cues.
