The purpose of the Therapy Services Department (PT) is to provide the people of Hudspeth Regional Center the necessary evaluations and treatment to reach and maintain their optimum physical and functional status.

Physical Therapy is responsible for a person’s mobility. Mobility can be either via a wheelchair or ambulating with or without an assistive device. PT is also responsible for the person’s seating and positioning equipment. This includes, wheelchairs, cushions, walkers, leg/foot braces, and many other items. These devices can be as simple as a standard walker or as complicated as a custom wheelchair. PT is also responsible for a person’s leg range of motion, wheelchair maintenance, and staff training/education.
