FYI.....I happened to contact the PT who is part of this presentation. He states he just yesterday saw the flier that was distributed in the media and elsewhere. He did feel this could be interpreted as a violation of the practice act. he admitted the title should have been referencing functional mobility, not ADLs. So, Ron, do not expect any surprises.....

This months speakers are two PT's from the local area. The title of their presentation is "Physical Therapy for Activities of Daily Living". I plan to attend this meeting because I don't know the nature of their discussion. Clearly though, this can certainly be a violation of the PT practice act because PT's are not licensed in Florida to teach about ADL's. They are of course licensed to teach and treat about physical impairments leading to disabilities associated with ADL's. This seems like a fine line but one that is worth watching.
