School-based therapists have critical information about students’ functional needs, but their valuable input is too often overlooked during the orthotic decision-making process. Increase your fluency in orthotic terminology, principles, and evidence to advocate for the most appropriate orthotic prescription, design, and dosage for your students.

Patient groups:
Amanda Hall, PT, MPT, PCS, began teaching clinical education with serial therapeutic casting courses, and has since developed additional coursework based on an integrative approach to treatment for patients with pediatric and neurological health conditions. Her clinical practice is at the Rehabilitation and Specialized Care of Children’s National Hospital (formerly the HSC Pediatric Center) in Washington, DC, where she specializes in treating “outliers” and patients with complex presentations. Her framework is grounded in PNF principles, therapeutic alliance, neuroplasticity, manual therapy, therapeutic gait, and developmental kinesioplasticity. Her framework has a strong focus in patient-centered treatment and adaptive design. As a result, she has received international media attention as the “Madcaster.” Notable presentations include the Combined Sections Meeting of the American Physical Therapy Association, the APTA Pediatrics Annual Conference, and at the National Institutes of Health. She graduated with her Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Washington in 2001 and received her Board-Certification as a Pediatric Clinical Specialist in 2010.
