Responses to Questions

In my opinion, the most important consideration in developing a professional relationship between a PT and PTA is good communication. Mutual repect and an understanding of each professional's education and training is also key.

I personally chose the role of a PTA in this week's discussion. I would prefer to have frequent informal conversations and written notes. Formal meetings have their place as well, I just prefer them less often and more as a staff meeting. Anything written down helps me to remember, so any notes and charts are helpful.
