What Happens When Schools Empower Therapists as Educators? – Anita Bamford
In this episode of Brighter Together, Anita Bamford, Lead Physical Therapist at Northside ISD in San Antonio, shares how her team is redefining what it means to support students with physical challenges.
With over 30 years of experience, Anita explains how Northside moved to a fully integrated, educationally embedded approach—one where therapists are not separate from learning, but central to it. This episode explores collaboration, inclusion, assistive tech, and why rethinking school-based therapy is more important now than ever.
For leaders committed to accessibility, dignity, and full participation, this conversation is a masterclass in action.
