Summary: Mt. Diablo Unified School District utilizes Independent Service Contractors to provide services established through the Individual Education Plans (IEP) for services related to Physical Therapy. Bright Paths Therapy provides PT's to fill two of the three positions required to meet the needs of the students at MDUSD.

MDUSD currently does not have a job description or management positions for physical therapists to become district employees, therefore requiring the use of independent contracts agencies to fill these positions.
