He was discharged at six. He is in fourth grade now.
Ben has Down syndrome and low tone. He was discharged from outpatient PT at six and has had nothing since. Now he is falling on the stairs to his portable classroom. Is that a school-based PT referral, or not? Work the whole case and find out. Enter your email and it downloads right here, no checkout and no waiting on a second email.
There are two versions. Take the one that matches how you will use it.
To work it yourself
10 pages. The referral, the case narrative, three worksheets, an assessment set, and the full answer key.
To teach it
11 pages. All of the above plus the facilitation layer: how to run the case and for how long, a lab exercise, the common student error, and a scoring note.
What is inside
The referral, as it actually arrives
Not a tidy case vignette. A teacher's email about a fourth grader who has fallen twice this month and is wiped out by the afternoon, written the way those messages really land.
Three worksheets, with room to write
Decide eligibility, analyse the mobility, then draft and test a goal. You commit to an answer before you see mine, which is the only way the reasoning sticks.
An assessment set and a full answer key
Best-answer, EXCEPT, select-all, fill-in-blank and K-type items, then an answer key that gives the rationale behind each one rather than just the letter.
One instruction before you open it
The three worksheets are the point. Do them before you look at the answer key. An answer key you read before you think is just an answer key you memorized, and the reasoning only sticks if you commit to an answer first and then find out where you were wrong.
A fillable edition is included, so you can type into the worksheets and keep them rather than printing the whole thing.
Want all eight cases?
Ben is Case 01 of eight, one per pediatric setting plus a capstone: early intervention, outpatient, inpatient and acute, the NICU, oncology, home health, and a NICU-to-early-intervention capstone. All-new children, all 14 frameworks, a worksheet and a full answer key for every case, and a fillable edition you can type into.
There are two editions, and they are genuinely different books. Take the one that matches how you will use it.
- $59
Self-Study Edition
For working the cases yourself. Every case closes with a mixed-format question set: best-answer, EXCEPT, select-all, fill-in-blank, situational judgment, and K-type items, the format the PCS and NPTE use to test reasoning rather than recall.
- $89
Instructor Edition
For running the cases with a group. The same eight cases plus facilitation notes, a live lab exercise, the common student error, and a scoring rubric for every case. Reproduce the worksheets for the students you supervise.
Teaching with it and want to see it first? Ask for a review copy. Nothing to return and no obligation. If you are looking at this for a whole program rather than your own students, say so and I will explain how licensing works.
