A Laptop for Visual Feedback and Teletherapy for Physical Therapy

Funded Nov 2, 2020

Thank you so much for your kind generosity. My students and I are so grateful for the new laptop that others donated for us to receive. Both my in-person and remote students have benefitted from this new laptop.

During this unique time of "blended learning," technology has become essential to learning and to help meet therapeutic needs. As some of my student are participating in a fully remote learning model, they are therefore also participating in PT tele-therapy service. Many of those remote students are unable to use the usual therapeutic equipment we would use if we would be in the school building. The laptop has allowed the students to access exercises videos, allowed me to provide tele-therapy service without interruption, and allowed my in-person students to use the laptop for visual feedback with their movements. The visual feedback has allowed my students to see their errors in movement in order to improve their gross motor skills. They have also learned to self-correct their posture using the video feedback.

This laptop has allowed my students and I to connect better during blended learning/therapy. Thank you so much for making this project possible for my wonderful students.”

With gratitude,
