PTA Students at Springbrook

The students had the opportunity to observe treatments provided to children with developmental disabilities and to experiment with the therapy equipment used to help them.

The Physical Therapist Assistant program at Herkimer College prepares students to enter the healthcare workforce as a skilled health provider working under the supervision of a physical therapist. This program is accredited by the Commission of Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education and the hands on profession helps patients to preserve, develop and restore optimal functions.
