My daughter is also not able to walk or talk, tell me some exercises which help my daughter to walk

[@MrZzToOoFlyY]

Take her to the Pediatrician and get a diagnosis first and then see if the doctor recommends physical therapy.

If u want to be a PT, what do you need to major in?

[@kylie3356]

Lots of people major in kinesiology or a health science major. However, theres not a specific major that is needed, and as long as you fit in the pre-reqs, you can major in anything. (Which is what I am doing, I am getting my pre-reqs as an Environmental Anthropology major, kinda unrelated but its just another of my many passions)

[@3lement2010]

I also have this question. Started my 2nd year into my Pre-PT program and still don't have a Major decided.

[@fensen6949]

BPT

[@fensen6949]

MPT

[@fensen6949]

Then
DPT ( if you need to get into research )

[@krystalrussell4350]

Can a physical therapist be an occupational therapist or are those two separate occupations?

[@kassielizirosei]

separate, they use different approaches for the patient to reach their goals. To help understand think PT- gross motor skills, biomechanical approach vs OT- fine motor skills, biopsychosocial approach. A PT can't be an OT or vice versa they both perform separate important roles to help the patient

[@krystalrussell4350]

@@kassielizirosei So writing would be diagnosed by an OT or are there others who diagnose writing?

[@kassielizirosei]

@@krystalrussell4350 do you mean writing skills? Possibly, I can't say for certain about the diagnosis aspect but yes OTs work with patients to learn/relearn handwriting by strengthening their muscles, working on their grip, hand eye coordination etc..

[@krystalrussell4350]

@@kassielizirosei yes

[@diannemartin4492]

can a licence as LPN perform physical therapy exercises to help a partient with self suffiency

[@desirae2637]

Dianne Martin no

[@victorgl9709]

You are over simplifying PT

[@zoe2969]

Physical therapy is not as easy as you're making it sound

[@krystalrussell4350]

I think it'll vary based upon educational needs and or requirements.

As the best occupational therapy center in Las Vegas, Elite Children's Therapy trains children to see their belongings and show the supper time routine of opening the snack box, eating, and returning all that once the supper is finished. This is an extraordinary accomplishment while seen from a young kid's perspective. Visit: www.eliteoccupationaltherapyservices.com/
