For example, some just take a more general course, while others take a heavier load of classes in certain types of disabilities. Her example (since she was, at the time, working with a student with cerebral palsy) was that some physical therapists might specialize in cerebral palsy. I'm sure that there must be some physical therapists who have specialized in PD, I just wish I knew names to pass along. Trish
