Pediatric Rehabilitation

The Pediatric Rehabilitation Department at Janet Weis Children's Hospital provides physical and occupational therapy, and speech pathology services to children born with special needs as well as older children challenged by injury, illness or mental disability.

Our spacious rehabilitation center is outfitted with special equipment and staffed by skilled therapists dedicated to helping children live life to the fullest. We accept most major health insurance, and are conveniently located next to the lobby of Janet Weis Children's Hospital.
