Kyan Sahba, PT, DPT, PhD
Kyan is a pediatric physical therapist and post-doctoral research fellow. She wrote the Pediatric PT Playbook to give students and new grads the clinical reasoning the classroom runs short on time to cover, the way a colleague would hand it to you on your first day.
The Pediatric PT Playbook is the exact resource I was looking for and in need of as a new graduate PT! As an educator, I utilize the playbook in orienting students to pediatric specific content including: pediatric practice settings, pediatric goal writing/documentation, and pediatric patient management. It is an accessible guide for students as novice clinicians managing this special patient population.
Purchased for our clinic. Used the early subscriber code. Definitely been a great resource for new PTs and interns in the field. It's been great to provide them with a good read.
I can't imagine not having this on my Pediatric PT internship. Amazing to prep with and have handy. My CI liked it as well.
This was perfect for class prep
