Physical Therapy (PT) Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) in Philadelphia

At Amy McGinnis Behavioral Consulting, we provide specialized Physical Therapy Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for children throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Our Physical Therapy IEEs are designed to assess a child's gross motor skills, mobility, posture, and physical capabilities within the educational environment. We aim to ensure that children with physical challenges receive the necessary supports and accommodations to thrive in school.

Types of Physical Therapy IEEs We Offer

Our Physical Therapy IEEs evaluate various aspects of a child's physical development and function. We take a comprehensive approach to determine their needs and recommend effective interventions. Below are the types of PT IEEs we offer:

• Gross Motor Skills Evaluation: This evaluation assesses a child's ability to perform large movements such as walking, running, jumping, and climbing. Gross motor skills are essential for participation in physical education and classroom activities. Our evaluation helps identify areas where a child may need additional support.

• Posture and Alignment Evaluation: We examine a child’s posture and alignment to assess any abnormalities that could impact their mobility or comfort in the school setting. This evaluation is particularly important for identifying the need for therapeutic interventions or modifications to the school environment.

• Balance and Coordination Evaluation: This evaluation assesses a child’s ability to maintain balance and coordinate movements. Poor balance and coordination can affect a child's ability to participate in activities, both in physical education and in daily school routines. Our evaluation helps determine strategies to improve these skills.

• Mobility and Functional Movement Evaluation: We assess a child’s overall mobility, including their ability to navigate their environment, transition between activities, and perform functional movements necessary for daily life. For children who use assistive devices like walkers or wheelchairs, this evaluation helps determine the best mobility strategies and supports.

• Endurance and Strength Evaluation: This assessment focuses on a child's muscle strength and endurance. Children with low muscle tone or muscle weakness may tire easily or struggle with activities that require sustained effort. Our evaluation helps guide interventions to build strength and endurance for school-related tasks.

• Adaptive Equipment and Assistive Technology Evaluation: We evaluate a child’s need for adaptive equipment or assistive technology to support their physical functioning in school. Whether they require wheelchairs, braces, or other assistive devices, we make recommendations to ensure they can participate fully in their educational environment.
