Students learn evaluation and treatment techniques that are used to help adults with physical disabilities to live independent and productive lives. The laboratory component includes a minimum of 15 hours Level I fieldwork, which consists of observation and supervised practice in an off-campus facility that treats adult physical disabilities.
