Our program is recognized for excellence in admission accessibility, timeliness of care and quality of services.
Our team of board-certified pediatric physiatrists are specially trained physicians who focus on physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), and are skilled in treating a wide variety of medical conditions. They direct patient care in our inpatient rehabilitation units. Physical and occupational therapists have specialized training in pediatric rehabilitation. Our multidisciplinary care teams provide customized therapies and nursing care to treat conditions ranging from common to the most complex. They will focus on helping your child attain or regain functional independence as they grow and develop throughout their life.
Some locations offer an onsite wheelchair seating clinic staffed by a physical therapist and an assistive technology professional who work together to assess each child’s needs and help in selecting any appropriate assistive devices. In support of addressing all needs of the patient, we also offer child life and recreational therapy services using hobbies and sports, music therapy, or therapy in a warm-water swimming pool.
Families are critical partners in the development and ongoing reassessment of each child’s care. Our team will work closely with you and your child every step of the way, create a customized treatment plan and method to continually assess progress toward meeting functional goals. The length of stay varies based on a patient’s individualized treatment approach.
From the first day of your child’s stay, the rehabilitation team will work closely with you. The therapy and nursing staff will be involved in daily training during your child's therapy sessions, and you will be taught skills to aid in the transition from hospital to home, making it a smoother transition for you and your child.
Specific treatments and services may vary by location. Please contact a specific location for more information.
