The varying developmental issues of infants, children and adolescents are always considered. Follow-up care and consultative services are provided in surrounding community hospitals and in our Outpatient Center at the main hospital or our satellite locations . Rehabilitation Teams Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of pediatric experts led by a pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. Because the family is the one constant in the child s life and the source of the child s greatest support, the Rehabilitation Program takes a family-centered approach. Family members are considered a part of the team and encouraged to attend team meetings and participate in treatment sessions.
All information is shared, and feedback is always encouraged.
Individual objectives for each child are as different as the children themselves. Expressed in the form of functional goals, objectives guide treatment, with progress assessed regularly. The assessments are guided by functional domains diagnostic and treatment categories that cross disciplines, designed to facilitate information exchange and organize family conferences. Functional domains frequently overlap. Correspondingly, in the interdisciplinary team setting, team members contribute information for any domain, regardless of individual specialties, because every team member is concerned with the integrated goal of achieving full functional potential.
