To track your child's overall development, we employ tools such as the early childhood education and early rehabilitation model "Pikku-Portaat" and the "Alberta Infant Motor Scale" to monitor mobility progress. Typically, we extend invitations for children to visit us around the age of 1. During this visit, families meet with a doctor and other therapists tailored to the child's specific needs. Our services complement public health services, including those provided by child health clinics. Early rehabilitation at the Disability Outpatient Clinic continues until the child is about three years old. At that point, we will assess the need for further rehabilitation. In most cases, children are eligible to receive rehabilitation services funded by Kela. You can access the service through the telephone counselling of the Disability Outpatient Clinic.
