TIRR's pediatric rehabilitation team is specially trained to deal with these intermittent rehabilitation needs. Knowing as much as possible about the disability and the rehabilitation process helps the family and child cope more effectively. Families are taught the skills needed to maintain and enhance the patient's abilities and health, and are encouraged to take active roles in the rehabilitation and discharge planning processes. In addition to medical and therapy services, the range of services also includes in-house urology consults, spasticity management, and services for the minimally responsive. Referrals for assistive technology, orthoses and prostheses are also available.
Children can continue their schooling during hospitalization.
Teachers from the local school district provide academic instruction in a classroom located in the hospital. The Pediatric Day Hospital Program is also available. It balances the advantages of an intensive rehabilitation program in a clinical setting with the emotional support that only the family can offer in the home setting. The same services offered to pediatric inpatients are provided during a day that includes therapies, nursing education, and family teaching. TIRR Systems - Designed by ComSpace.
