Treatment programs designed to help a child recover from a debilitating injury or illness. Pediatric rehabilitation helps a child cope with and compensate for disabling conditions that cannot be reversed with medical care. Rehabilitation may be prescribed for learning disabilities, head trauma, amputations, orthopedic or spinal injury, or congenital birth defects such as spina bifida. The goal is to restore a child’s physical, sensory, and mental capabilities to as normal a state as possible.
