Swedish to English

Medical (general)
Therapy/rehabilitation for Down syndrome
This abbreviation occurs in a medical chart for a patient suffering from Down syndrome, together with other abbreviations such as TT ("talterapi") or FT ("fysikalisk terapi"). Obviously, ET is another type of therapy (as appears from the context), but there is no way to tell which. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Thank you.

could it be a typo for AT (arbetsterapi) as physiotherapy(PT),occupational therapy(OT) and speech and language therapy(SLT) is often mentioned together.

environmental therapy
My spontaneous guess - and I found this, from link below:
Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome (DS) is a complex syndrome, of genetic origin with multiple and variable neurobiological and neuropsychological manifestations. DS patients have consistent signs of brain damage along their lives, but understanding the biology of DS is complicated due to the extraordinary heterogeneity of the phenotypic signs. Thus, treatment of DS mental retardation poses significant challenges for clinicians and scientists. The review addresses the classical pharmacological and environmental treatments and also critically reviews the new possibilities that are emerging from the exciting advances in gene or cell therapy.

I withdraw my answer, as I was trying to decipher ET as an English abbreviation. My apologies.

Oj, jisses - av någon anledning var jag bara inne på den engelska linjen. Du har helt rätt, naturligtvis.
