Transcript: Lisa speaks about what you can expect as a physiotherapist in Education Queensland schools

As a physiotherapist you have joined the education team to support students in their learning in schools. You will work with teachers, teacher aides, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, nurses, guidance officers as well as the students and their parents.

School is a natural setting for children so you will find that you can enable children to learn a range of skills in an environment in which endless opportunities exist to practise with their friends and peers. 

You will find that every day will be different when working in schools. On some days you may be working individually with a child to learn to walk while on other days you may be monitoring the child’s movement in the classroom, on the oval or in the playground.

Having worked as a physiotherapist in many different settings as well as working in schools for many years I can assure you that you will find working in schools challenging and interesting. There is always something new to learn.
