Implications of Public Law 94-142 for physical therapists.

The purposes of this paper is to orient physical therapists to Public Law 94-142 and to reflect upon the implications of this law for therapists in clinical settings and preservice training. Key phrases relative to this law are "least restrictive environment" and "free and appropriate education." Both phrases have direct implications for physical therapists because local educational agencies must provide services and experiences that are deemed appropriate for a child's educational needs. Physical therapists may deal in direct services, consultant roles, or evaluative processes. Public Law 94-142 has created unique opportunities for physical therapists in the public school setting.
