For DPT Programs
A clinical-reasoning complement to your pediatric curriculum
The Pediatric PT Playbook gives your students a structured way to turn classroom science into confident decisions on rotation, and gives your faculty and clinical instructors one shared language to teach it. Built by a clinician-researcher, evidence-anchored, and aligned with the ICF-CY model your students already know.
Why programs adopt it
A bridge, not a replacement
Your didactic sequence teaches the science. The Playbook gives students a structured way to carry that science into a NICU, a school IEP meeting, or an early-intervention home visit. It complements the classroom; it does not compete with it.
A shared reasoning language
Fourteen trademarked frameworks give students and clinical instructors one vocabulary for the same decisions, from milestone interpretation to educationally relevant goal writing with MAPS™ and school-based relevance with ACCESS™.
Evidence-anchored throughout
Every chapter closes with peer-reviewed references, and the structure aligns with the ICF-CY model your students already meet in coursework. Nothing here asks faculty to vouch for an unsupported claim.
Built for the rotation gap
Students often feel academically prepared but clinically uncertain on day one of a pediatric placement. The Playbook is the colleague-in-your-pocket walkthrough that closes that gap, written by a clinician-researcher who has worked the settings.
Preview it before you adopt it
Faculty considering the Playbook for a pediatric course can request a preview copy to review against the curriculum. No commitment, no cost to evaluate. Tell us the course and the term you are planning for, and we will get a copy to the right person.

Program adoption is in development. These are the shapes it usually takes; the details are being worked out now, and programs that get in touch early help decide what they include.
One course
A single pediatric faculty member teaching one course, with materials for the students enrolled in it.
The pediatric track
Faculty and enrolled students across your pediatric sequence, so the same reasoning language runs through every section and rotation.
Across the program
Departments standardizing on the Playbook across cohorts, including a say in future editions.
From both an educator's and clinician's perspective, The Pediatric PT Playbook offers a well-structured overview of various pediatric sectors. It effectively integrates the child, their family, and the impact of the environment in participation, aligning perfectly with the ICF-CY framework. By presenting a clear sequence of core concepts, it serves as an essential resource for helping students understand further responsible clinical decision-making in pediatric practice.
