Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct an in-depth investigation of physical therapist educators' challenges to and facilitators of the use of experiential learning (EL) with children. Although EL with children has been called an essential component of doctor of physical therapy (DPT) education, variability in the amount of EL used among DPT programs indicates that educators may experience different challenges and facilitators of the use of EL. Methods: Eighteen pediatric DPT educators participated in a semistructured interview. Researchers used thematic analysis to qualitatively analyze interview transcripts. Results: Three themes emerged: (1) stakeholder considerations, (2) pedagogical considerations, and (3) logistical considerations. Conclusions: This research illustrates challenges and facilitators to the use of EL with children. How these challenges and facilitators are perceived by DPT educators has implications for faculty and program directors, particularly as they consider the use of EL with children in DPT programs nationally.

Purpose: The purpose of this Special Communication is to describe the processes of Education Summit III, sponsored by the Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy, with an emphasis on the review, update, and integration of contemporary language and the Competency-Based Education framework into a revision of the Essential Core Competencies (ECCs). Summary of Key Points: The Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy has consistently supported pediatric professional education, including sponsoring 3 Education Summits in 2012, 2016, and 2023. The most recent summit focused on a revision of the ECCs and the development of materials to support their implementation. Recommendations for Practice: These revised domains of competence and associated competencies will support and guide pediatric physical therapy education for professional students. Educators are encouraged to use their creativity and resources to integrate these into teaching and learning activities.
