Day rehab services.

We provide intensive, all-day rehabilitation services to medically-stable children and young adults. Led by our physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians, our team includes physical, occupational and speech therapists, audiologists, social workers, dietitians, psychologists and care coordinators. 

We tailor rehabilitation plans to each child’s individual needs, with the focus on improving function to enable a prompt return to school, work and other daily activities.

Infant therapy team.

Working closely with a developmental-behavioral pediatrician, we provide complete evaluation and treatment for infants and children up to age 3 who have delays with development or are at risk for developmental delays. We will assess your child's abilities and, if necessary, recommend a treatment program designed for your child.

We'll evaluate your child in the following areas:

• Physical therapy: Posture and movement
• Occupational therapy: Visual skills and the use of hands
• Speech pathology: Oral feeding, listening and vocalizing
• Dietary: Nutrition and growth
• Social work support: Accessing community resources

Our ultimate goal is to assist you in helping your child achieve daily skills such as eating, moving, talking and playing. 

Common risk factors for developmental delays include:

• Low birth weight
• Prematurity
• Congenital or chromosomal abnormalities
• Persistent irritability
• Lack of active movement
• Poor feeding skills
• Poor weight gain

Our services are available upon referral from your child's pediatrician.
