If your child’s mobility and communication skills have been affected by disease or traumatic injury, look to our team of experts at Nemours. We provide a pediatric rehabilitation program, for children up to 17, designed to teach your child and family all the skills necessary to allow him or her to move, communicate, interact with people, and return home to live as independently and pain-free as possible.
Conditions that may require intensive rehabilitative services include:
- traumatic brain injury (caused by a trauma, such as a car accident, fall, or gunshot wound)
- acquired brain injury (such as a stroke, brain tumor, or loss of oxygen to the brain)
- seizure disorder
- spinal cord injuries (including those resulting in ventilator dependency)
- amputation
- spina bifida
- burns
- encephalitis
- meningitis
- cerebral palsy
- neuromuscular disorders
- post-orthopedic surgeries
