- Serving as an Expert and Guide for Parents, Staff, and Students
- Supporting Students in Meeting Educational Standards and Enhancing Motor Development Skills
- Developing Individualized Treatment Plans for Students
- Advocating for Students and Ensuring Accommodations Are Provided
- Collaborating with Teachers and Specialists
- Advising School Stakeholders in Ensuring Student Access Across Various Educational Programs
Our remote school physical therapy jobs give you the exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact on students, families, and schools.
How to get Telehealth Physical Therapist jobs
Requirements for online physical therapy jobs are the same as for an in-person physical therapist. You will need to have an undergraduate degree, usually with an emphasis in science, such as biology, anatomy, or physiology. You must also earn a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree, typically taking three years to complete. Finally, you must pass the National Physical Therapy Examination to become licensed in your state.
Many physical therapists enhance their livelihoods by entering into a residency or fellowship program to gain valuable experience and boost their knowledge and skills. Board-certified specialization is yet another option for therapists looking to expand their career horizons.
