Which of the following is NOT a task that can be provided to students by designated personnel in a school setting?

The task of assigning homework tasks is generally outside the scope of what designated personnel in a school setting, such as physical therapy assistants or support staff, can perform. In educational and therapeutic settings, designated personnel are typically responsible for implementing therapeutic exercises and interventions that directly relate to a student's physical therapy needs. These tasks are aimed at enhancing the students' functional abilities and physical development.

Encouraging active range of motion (AROM) exercises, assisting with transfers using mechanical devices, and positioning in adaptive equipment are all activities that align closely with the physical therapy curriculum and practice. These activities directly involve the application of physical therapy techniques and require specific training to ensure that they are performed safely and effectively. In contrast, assigning homework is more aligned with educational responsibilities and the instructional process, which falls outside the designated role of physical therapy personnel. Thus, the correct answer reflects the boundaries of practice for those working in a physical therapy capacity within schools.
