Individualized treatment plans for each patient’s and family’s specific needs to maximize function and participation in home, school, and community.
Our interdisciplinary team works closely with our patients and their family members to develop a treatment plan that meets the needs of each patient.
Physical, occupational and speech-language therapists help patients establish the foundations for improved mobility and communication for enhanced independence. Referrals are made to Kennedy Krieger’s orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery teams when appropriate. Psychosocial evaluations and counseling are provided as needed.
