The participation based framework is from birth through the early young adult years. Most of the students with a disability receive services for OT and PT through early interventions or school programs. There are other therapy services and are provided privately. Early interventions is to help enhance infants and toddlers participate in their natural environments. For the older children they focus on inclusion and participate in typical school settings. Participation framework is tied directly to World Health Organizations Classification of Functioning. Physical therapist address environment and participation modules. One of the intervention that seems to work is the approach that has been assessment, embedding, collaborating, and monitoring
the child progress.
