Finding help for a child can be difficult if you don't know where to start. Through Community Mercy Pediatric Therapy and Rehabilitation and Mercy Memorial Pediatric Rehabilitation and Therapy specially trained, friendly and caring staffs are dedicated to helping children who face a variety of special needs. Outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy an d speech-language therapy services are available for children from birth to 18 years of age.
Increase Function and Improve Self-Esteem
Our program is two-fold. First, we challenge each patient to maximize his/her potential in order to function as independently as possible. Second, we encourage families to be actively involved during therapy. Ultimately our goal is to help the child develop confidence and determination to lead a full promising life. We also endeavor to help families cope with the challenges associated with their child.
