Children's Rehab Center collaborates with an entire team to ensure your child's therapy is beneficial through our evaluations, treatments, and on-going communication.
Comprehensive Evaluation
- Extensive background information is gathered before we see the child.
- Only necessary tests are administered, avoiding over-testing.
- Some children are seen by all of our specialists, some by only one.
- We develop a complete profile of the child's strengths and weaknesses.
Total Approach to Treatment
- All information is reviewed to develop an individual treatment plan.
- Interrelated factors are identified and prioritized.
- We look for the "whys and hows" of a problem, not just developmental levels.
- Our team coordinates activities so that progress in one area facilitates growth in another.
- Current research in education, neurology, and the behavioral sciences form the basis of treatment.
Parents are Team Members
- We listen to the parental concerns and goals so that we can work together.
- Parents learn methods to help their children.
- Family time constraints and finances are considered.
Goal-Directed Therapy
- All therapy is one-to-one.
- Treatment starts at a level allowing immediate success.
- The developmental sequence of typical skill acquisition is followed.
- Therapists use proven techniques, not "high tech" fads.
- Activities are constantly modified to be challenging, but successful.
- Progress is expected at each session.
Communication
- Our team members listen to the children and communicate with them on their level.
- Information is shared with the physician and other professionals through diagnostic and progress reports, telephone contacts, and conferences.
- Parents always decide what information is released and to whom.
- Regular contacts are made with the school to coordinate the therapy program with classroom curriculum.
