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.

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.
