Nearly four years after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, and years after school reopenings, schools still face a major challenge: Students aren't showing up. An estimated 14.7 million students didn't show up regularly in the 2022-23 school year and were “chronically absent.” As data rolls out, states are realizing that they can't address chronic absences without strategic plans to target it. Today on The Weeds, Vox reporter Fabiola Cineas explores what chronic absenteeism is, how it affects children's learning in both the short and long term, and what strategies have a proven track record of getting kids back to school.  Read More: Read more from Fabiola Cineas  Submit your policy questions!

Rehabilitation Therapies Physical Therapists: Laura French and Joyce Kost Our interdisciplinary team of physical, occupational and speech therapists work closely with our patients to restore maximum function and independence. We work with your physician on a plan of recovery that is right for you, and enable you to progress in the comfort of your home. Physical Therapists help patients to improve strength, balance and endurance following illness, injury or orthopedic surgery. Orthopedic Care is physical therapy that is frequently prescribed for patients recovering from back or joint surgery to help them regain flexibility and stability. Often a pre-operative physical therapy program can speed post-operative recovery. Occupational Therapists assist patients who need help with the ability to perform the daily activities of life after injury or illness. Therapists work with patients on tasks such as improving fine motor skills, using assistive devices for dressing, bathing, cooking and learning sequencing techniques for correctly taking medications. Speech and Language Therapists help people who may have difficulty with chewing, swallowing, or problems relating to communication disorders, such as aphasia, dysphasia and voice control. Our therapist can also help with problems related to memory loss and dementia. Explore the possibility of rehabilitation in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Contact us today to learn more.
