Pediatric Rehab Services

Whether the result of congenital or lifestyle conditions, children sometimes require rehabilitative care to ensure proper, healthy development. At Banner Health, we offer a number of rehabilitative care programs tailored to the special needs of pediatric patients.

Common pediatric rehabilitation services at Banner Health include:

• Occupational therapy to help children develop age-appropriate skills through play. Therapy addresses children’s self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing skills and handwriting skills.
• Physical therapy to help children who have developmental delays, range-of-motion limitation, strength/muscle weakness, balance difficulty and abnormal tone with the goal of promoting functional gross motor skills.
• Speech therapy to help children who have articulation, language, voice, stuttering, feeding or swallowing disorders. Therapists focus on children's abilities to be successful with all forms of communication including speaking, listening, reading, writing and cognitive development.
