Private therapy ( Medical Therapy) Vs. School Therapy

The other day I was asked a great question: "Why would someone do both private therapy and school therapy?"

School therapy and Private therapy meet different needs. A school will only provide therapy if it is academically necessary. Meaning that the school will only provide therapy if the child's disability affects their academics. For example, a child will not receive PT if they struggle with motor skills unless the motor skills keep them from learning. Take my child for example who struggles with core strength and balance. These two things would not count as a qualifier in schools.
