If Mary has experienced a growth spurt, her ability to move and explore the
environment is going to change. Also, if she usually does not fall, this is
a change in physical mobility status. For both of these reasons she should
have a NEW evaluation by the physical therapist.

Sorry. I am a little opinionated and if "The Idaho Elks
pediatric physical therapist that has "already" evaluated her is not an
evaluation that occurred after she fell this is not good enough.....

My two cents,

Greta
