The multidisciplinary team consists of pediatric specialists in the areas of Neurology, Pulmonology, Cardiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), Orthopedic Surgery, Social Work, Nutrition, Physical Therapy, Neuropsychology, Psychology, and Child Life. Pediatric Physiatry (PM&R) assesses children in clinic with the goal of maximizing functional abilities, improving quality of life, and decreasing the occurrence of common musculoskeletal complications. Using a family and patient-centered approach, we assess children for rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, and speech therapy), orthoses, and specialized equipment to help them achieve their maximal functional capabilities and individual rehabilitation goals.
