Acute Care Rehabilitation Services

Acute Care Rehabilitation Services at Children's Hospital provides physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy during a child’s hospitalization through a multi-disciplinary team approach. Our therapists are trained to treat infants, children and young adults with a variety of diagnoses and conditions, and make recommendations for their next level of care.

A hospital department may refer your child to therapy for many reasons, including

• Recovery from a surgery
• Difficulty with communicating or swallowing
• Challenges to completing activities of daily living
• Recovery from a traumatic injury or illness
• At risk for developmental delay or deconditioning related to a prolonged hospital stay.
