When a child is injured or disabled it affects the entire family — especially when rehabilitative care is necessary. Team members provide a framework to help each family adjust to the child’s individual abilities and offer emotional support to preserve and strengthen the family during hospitalization. Recognizing and incorporating each family’s unique qualities and individual cultural and religious beliefs is important to the success of the program.

 

Family members are encouraged to attend therapy sessions with the patient to foster success in rehabilitation and reintegration into the community, school and vocation as appropriate.
