Outpatient Rehabilitative Services

At the Rehab Centers, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists and certified athletic trainers work together as a team to restore mobility and function depleted by musculoskeletal injuries and neurological disorders and together we develop comprehensive rehab programs for helping people regain control of their lives — medically, socially and emotionally. Following an initial assessment, an individualized rehabilitation program is developed for each client. This includes a common understanding of goals to be achieved in reaching an individual’s maximum potential.

Pediatric Developmental Rehab

The Rehab Centers’ developmental rehabilitation program provides a multidisciplinary approach for the optimal development of infants and toddlers to meet their suspected or identified developmental delay or disability. In all instances, specific strategies to enhance cognitive, physical, language and social progress are carefully developed in concert with the family.

Children who have experienced a debilitating injury or neurological illness are often in need of special rehabilitation services. The Rehab Center has skilled physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy staff that specialize in the treatment of children.
