Physical Therapy web page

My name is Jennie Gunderson, and I am grateful to serve as the pediatric physical therapist for the Grafton School District. My primary role is to ensure students have optimal access to their learning environments and can fully participate in all of their school day routines, from classroom activities and hallway transitions to recess and physical education alongside their peers.

I graduated from UW-Madison with a Master of Physical Therapy degree, hold a Bachelor’s in Spanish, and have dedicated my entire physical therapy career to pediatrics. My background includes years in outpatient pediatric clinics and early intervention (Ozaukee County Birth to Three), giving me deep experience with a wide spectrum of diagnoses. In the school setting, I draw on this clinical foundation to promote functional mobility, body alignment, and independence.

I view therapy through a strengths-based lens and use a child’s natural interests and play to build functional skills. By collaborating closely with families, teachers, and medical teams, I aim to create practical strategies that support student participation and growth both in the classroom and at home.
