i cannot speak for this particular case but i do know that my mother volunteered at the public school in my old home town to work with brain injured kids - some apparently as bad off as this. The teachers try to (and you will forgive me if i am not using correct terminology) have the kids “remember” motor functions doing numerous exercises and other such things. I visited her there once and it is so heartwrenching. Now again i dont know about this particular case however sending a brain injured child to school is not unheard of.

I don't view physical therapy as something the public schools should be doing.

No. But expecting a child who is this handicapped AND so close to death as to require a DNR tag on her chair to be sent to school each day is out of line. She does not belong there.
