As a Physical Therapist Assistant you have had the opportunity to work with all age groups. Do you enjoy working with children because of their inquisitive minds and sense of humor? Can you relate with them best? Are you most comfortable working with adults because they are able to communicate a bit easier with you? Because your job is hands on with all age groups be sure to tell the interviewer that- follow it up with your favorite group to work with if you'd like.

Awesome! You have a full scope of experience, which the interviewer should be happy to hear :) If you have details on the clinics' specific demographics, you may want to give a more targeted response geared to their typical patient's needs.
Prepare for clinical scenarios and patient interaction questions that rehabilitation facilities prioritize.
