Pediatric Rehabilitation

Information for Parents & Caregivers

Working Together to Help Your Child

Pediatric rehabilitation helps children and youth live well, build resiliency and take part in activities meaningful to them and their families. Care involves children, youth and families every step of the way. Families and healthcare providers work together to:

  • Take part in activities that are important to them
  • Set therapy goals and activities to help children and youth develop skills
  • Recover from a range of health conditions

AHS offers services for children and youth who have (neuro) developmental and/or medical conditions. Services focus on:

  • Health and developmental needs of infants and children in the early years
  • Episodic care for children and youth in the child and youth years
