Why is it important?
By better understanding experiences of the pediatric physical therapist-caregiver relationship, from both points of view, clinicians can better understand the importance of specifc aspects of the relationship and gain insight to inform best practices.
Perspectives
This research, in many ways, confirmed ideas and thoughts I myself have experienced as a pediatric PT for many years. It was great to hear the perspectives and it helped me personally understand what is important and not important to pediatric PTs and the families they serve.
