Children and adolescents exhibiting developmental delays or acquiring
an acute injury require comprehensive rehabilitation to address
the deficits affecting their daily functioning. At Miami Children's
Hospital, a full range of bilingual diagnostic and therapeutic services
is available to meet the needs of infants, children, and adolescents.
All services are performed by a team of professionals who focus
on the medical, therapeutic, and educational needs of the child.
Miami Children's Hospital's rehabilitative setting includes the
neonatal intensive care unit, inpatient hospitalization areas, and
an outpatient rehabilitation department. These areas utilize state-of-the-art
equipment in a patient-friendly environment for children of all
ages.
A select team of pediatric specialists
The first step in rehabilitating a child is to provide a team
of pediatric rehabilitation specialists who understand the physical,
emotional, and psychological needs of children at different stages
of life. The specialists include audiologists, occupational therapists,
physical therapists, and/or speech language pathologists. After
a comprehensive evaluation, a treatment plan is developed with the
child's family to enable patients to reach their maximum level of
functional ability as quickly as possible.
