@MarissaRewak @bwhite676 a diagnosis of CP or ASD will qualify them for services based on medical necessity = forever

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

Good work making our own #ihpft2 chat guys!

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @MarissaRewak @Suzi_Dee @AlexRiosSPT We are ALWAYS referring for neuro psych and physiatry for that exact reason! #ihpft2

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@Suzi_Dee @JessBernardPTs @TylerDPT2016 It'a all about the "Lets do this first, then we can do ____" They think they are in control..

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@alice_marolla @bwhite676 @kristenann28 Short attention spans and behavioral issues for me at least. "Lets do this next" "NO!"

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 No, I mean when we want to work on standing but I need to support foot/ankle, TLSO = extra hands to support

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@Suzi_Dee @AlexRiosSPT @bwhite676 We use a TLSO more for proprioception and stability when working on proximal joints (extra set of hands)

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@Just_K_Bautista slackers..

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @Just_K_Bautista Ready and waiting...

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@KHayes_PTs I try to give them a choice of what they want to do next then tell them 5 more times then we move on.

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @JoeVDrumline I leave that for the OTs ;)

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @JoeVDrumline I use something they like to play as the ending game like swings or the eye play (floor projection computer game)

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @JoeVDrumline Precisely! And when they check it off they feel accomplished! Oh and you have it for documentation specifics!

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@bwhite676 @JoeVDrumline Have them help "plan" the session by writing down challenges they have to complete. They get to help=motivation

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

Peds insurance covers based on med necessity so for forever. It's tough to decide when to take a PT "break" so they stay engaged #ihpft2

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@LarryYanPTs AGREED! I love that I am able to sit in on treatment sessions when I have cancellations or down time, especially with my pts

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@KeshrieN Trying to observe SLP and OT treatments with my pts and one i'm not familiar with when I have cancellations is a start! #ihpft2

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

@TylerDPT2016 Especially when you don't know exactly what to look for!

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

Learning more about other disciplines like SLP and OT to know when to recommend additional therapy #ihpft2

[Kristen Morris @kristenm2016]

So many plantar fasciitis evals coming in lately! Could it be the terrible summer footwear? #IHPFT1 http://t.co/fUBQlAGxxc
