Dr. Rose earned her board certification in pediatric physical therapy in 2008 after 26 years of practice. Achieving her PCS was a personal and professional goal. Her PCS supported her to further develop her practice skills and expertise within the context of school based practice. Board certification supported her collaboration with stakeholders in the school community to develop educationally relevance treatment interventions. Now in her 35th year of practice, she looks forward to recertifying her PCS board certification, continuing to serve children and families, and support our profession of physical therapy through committee and volunteer work.
