In talking with the physical therapist we had at our school for about three
years, I seem to recall that she once told me that sometimes physical
therapists specialize in certain areas. 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.
