Purpose of Review

Patients who are treated in Pediatric Rehabilitation settings often have complex medical and rehabilitation needs. Through clinical practice and personal experience, we have seen the importance of treating our patients and their families in multidisciplinary settings with social supports in place.

Recent Findings

Rehabilitation programs have been shown to improve outcomes for pediatric patients with a broad scope of medical conditions. Current literature highlights the numerous benefits of a multidisciplinary team-based approach by improving functional outcomes in motor skills, and quality of life in addition to social, emotional, and cognitive outcomes.

Summary

In pediatric rehabilitation settings, we should prioritize multidisciplinary teams and improving social supports for our patients and their families. This approach improves outcomes and allows families to feel more supported and empowered in their care.
