School Aged Services and Clinics

Our Service
We provide treatment, technology and therapy programs to school aged children so that they can accomplish functional and meaningful outcomes to enhance quality of life, achieve individual potential and participate fully in their life at home and in the community.  We are caring staff that have expertise in pediatric rehabilitation.  Our facility has large treatment gyms, quiet treatment rooms, a therapy pool and specialized equipment.

School aged interventions are not intended to be continuous.  Children who have lifelong needs for management of physical disabilities are given episodic care when they experience changes or need alternations.  Equipment includes customized seating systems and mobility devices. Orthopedic management is provided through a range of service, including medical consultation, casting and splinting and gait analysis.  Home programming is an integral part of the service.
Children with acquired conditions and changing conditions are seen for assessment, brief intervention and transition to community partners.  Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, social work, psychology and developmental pediatrics team together with the family and child.

Children who cannot talk or whose speech is very difficult to understand receive augmentative and alternative communication assessment and intervention. Children with physical disabilities who cannot write using pen and paper are provided with specialized equipment for written communication.

 We provide individualized therapy assessment and intervention, within group settings for children who attend the NPCC School.

Our Responsibility
Children and families will understand the special needs of their child and be educated on the best options for equipment and intervention.    We will coordinate care within our range of services and with our community partners.  Families will have the tools to assume responsibility for advocacy so that their children can participate fully in life.
