A comprehensive, evidence-informed resource bundle designed to help pediatric physical therapists and families make more confident decisions surrounding ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), orthotic wear, and footwear selection. This bundle takes the guesswork out of orthotic decision-making by helping therapists improve clinical reasoning, support interdisciplinary collaboration, educate families, and ensure children are set up for success both in their braces and in the shoes they wear with them. Perfect for pediatric therapists working in early intervention, school-based practice, outpatient pediatrics, hospital settings, and medically complex populations.
1. AFO Decision-Making Guide for Pediatric Physical Therapists
A clinical reasoning guide designed to help therapists confidently navigate lower extremity orthotic decision-making based on function, movement presentation, and child-specific goals.
2. Your New Orthotics: Family Education Guide
A parent-friendly resource designed to help families understand how to safely begin using new orthotics at home and what to expect during the adjustment period. Perfect for reducing family anxiety and improving consistency after orthotics are delivered.
3. Kids’ Shoes 101 + AFO-Friendly Shoe Guide
An evidence-based guide helping therapists and families better understand how footwear affects gait, development, orthotic fit, and overall movement quality.
BONUS: Quick Reference AFO Decision Making Guide - free!
This bundle helps bridge the gap between clinical decision-making, family education, and real-world carryover- because orthotics are only effective when everyone understands why they’re being used and how to use them correctly.
