Complex Pediatric Therapies Developmental Assessment Clinic

The Complex Pediatric Therapies Developmental Assessment Clinic (CPTDAC) at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, along with a similar clinic at Alberta Children's Hospital, offers specialized follow-up care for children who have had complex or life-saving medical treatments. These clinics support families by tracking development, growth, and school readiness through personalized assessments and scheduled follow-ups from a team of healthcare professionals.

The Complex Pediatric Therapies Developmental Assessment Clinic (CPTDAC) at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, along with a similar follow-up program at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, provides specialized developmental assessments, monitoring, and family support for children who have received complex or life-saving hospital care. These clinics are part of the Complex Pediatric Therapies Follow-up Program (CPTFP), an interprovincial initiative dedicated to understanding and supporting the developmental needs of children following advanced medical therapies.

The program currently supports children who, prior to six years of age, have experienced solid organ transplantation (heart or kidney), Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) support, septic shock, or cardiac arrest. It also includes infants who required chronic peritoneal dialysis within their first year of life.

CPTFP provide guidance in areas such as early developmental milestones, school readiness, and learning needs. Children are typically seen 4–8 months after their treatment or surgery, again at 18–24 months, and between 4–5 years of age. Each visit is individualized to the child’s age and developmental stage, involving an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who support the child’s growth, well-being, and family’s ongoing care journey.
