In what years were PTA created and educational institutions established?

• A. 1966/1967
• B. 1988
• C. 1990
• D. 1975

Answer: (A)

The item is about the timeline of the Physical Therapist Assistant role and its education. The PTA concept emerged in the mid-1960s to support physical therapists and expand care delivery, and the first formal educational programs to train PTAs were established around 1967. So the pair of years that best fits both parts of the question is 1966 and 1967. The later years listed do not align with the historical start of the PTA role and its initial programs.
