APTA House of Delegates

Our House of Delegates is made up of APTA members from across the country who adopt motions to guide the profession and association.

Essential Health Benefits Advocacy

Rehabilitative and habilitative services are among the essential health benefits that need to be maintained — and even expanded.

IDEA and ESSA Advocacy

Every student deserves the ability to succeed in the classroom and beyond. The Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act and Every Student Succeeds Act make that possible.

Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan

Our association is guided by our strategic plan, which aligns with the mission statement and furthers APTA’s pursuit of our vision for the physical therapy profession.

Term and Title Protection Advocacy

Words matter. The use of "physical therapy," "physiotherapy," and the PT, DPT, and PTA titles should be restricted to qualified professionals.

Referral for Profit

Patient choice and proper utilization must be protected.

Specialist Certification

Maximize your PT potential by achieving ABPTS board certification in any of ten clinical specialty areas.

Physical therapy can make a difference—not just in recovery, but in falls prevention.
