Pediatric SIG Chair
Beth Rudolph, PT, DPT

The APTA AZ Pediatric Special Interest Group (SIG) was established in 2018 in order to create a community of physical therapists and physical therapy assistants dedicated to serving children in all pediatric settings. Our goal is to encourage life-long learning and collaboration between novice and experienced therapists and to promote pediatric physical therapy in the community

Goals of the APTA AZ Pediatric SIG:

●        To provide an opportunity for encouraging and enhancing communication among all pediatric PT/PTA’s

●        To provide continuing education in areas of pediatric physical therapy

●        To foster best practice in pediatric physical therapy through evidenced-based practice

●        To increase participation of pediatric PT/PTA’s in the APTA AZ Pediatric SIG, Chapter, and Association

●        To represent the interests of AzPedsSIG members before the official decision-making bodies of the Chapter, Association, and other components
