Parental Guidance: Beyond the Diagnosis or Injury: Advocating for Your Child

Whether your child has recently received a diagnosis, experienced an injury, or is facing developmental challenges, learning they may need rehabilitation services can feel overwhelming. Join us to learn how to navigate your child's rehabilitation journey with confidence. Discover how a pediatric Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) doctor can help guide your family, connect you with the right services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and advocate for your child's needs. We'll discuss what to expect along the way, how to support progress at home, what questions to ask, and how to become an active partner in your child's care.
