Paediatric Rehabilitation
DMARehability has a team of qualified and experienced clinicians with a focus on paediatrics and adolescence. Our programming is designed to improve the abilities of children and young people following injury or illness when there is a negative effect on their function, behavior, and/or emotional well-being. We aim to maximize the ability of the child to enable participation in activities at home, school, and in the community. Individualized programming is designed to achieve specific goals in the areas of mobility, self-care, communication, behaviour, and integration. Our mission is to provide specialty paediatric rehabilitation services which specifically cater to children, young people, and their families offering transdisciplinary therapies which optimize function and maximize participation in all settings.
