What is PTP?
• Accidental injury is the leading cause of death (40%) among
children under the age of 15
• As much as 90% of these injuries can be easily prevented
• Common reasons for severe injuries include biking accidents,
faulty car booster seats, domestic dangers, playground
injuries, and drowning accidents
• These accidents result from a lack of proper
equipment; devices designed for children
do not necessarily work for children
• Lack of education about child safety in both
the affected children and adult
professionals make the treatment more
difficult
