Teams provide children with an individualized therapy process that incorporates physical, occupational and speech-language therapy. Because children are treated by therapists who transition from hospital admission to outpatient therapy, they experience a unique continuum of care that helps maximize their opportunity for success.

Therapy teams are made up of healthcare professionals who have received specialized training and certifications that are vital to the health of their patients.
