The services of physical and occupational therapists are being used more in public school settings as a result of the mandate of United States Public Law 94–142. These professionals help educators in developing the students' gross and fine motor skills, vocational skills, and self‐help skills. In addition, physical therapists and occupational therapists serve with educators on transdisciplinary teams in developing goals and objectives to more appropriately meet the educational needs of disabled students.
