Pediatric physical therapy…?

I am really interested in Pediatric physical therapy and
i’ve been wondering about the courses you would take in college. would you just take regular physical therapy classes or are there certain ones for Pediatric physical therapy?

The above poster is correct, you must first become a regular physical therapist. This is usually a competitive entrance program where you take your prerequisite courses during your undergraudate years. This usually involves a lot of chemistry, physics, biology, psychology and math. You then apply for admission sometime during your junior or senior year of college for entrance into a master’s or doctorate level program.

Once in the program, you take more specific physical therapy courses, some of which should include neurological development and/or pediactrics. You might also get a chance to do a pediatric rotation…but be aware that many people try to seek to do one.

Other than that, there is no specific requirement for becoming a pediatric physical therapist…although it is recommended you complete further continuing education once you are a PT if you hope to do so.
