Pool therapy not compensable under disability services law as it is medical rehabilitation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Administrative Court dismissed the claim for financial compensation for pool therapy under the Disability Services Act. The applicant argued that the therapy constituted a valid economic support measure, while the state contended it was a medical rehabilitation activity. The court ruled that because pool therapy is classified as medical rehabilitation, it falls outside the scope of compensable economic support defined in the relevant statutes.
