HSS Pediatric Rehabilitation and Young Athlete Center

Our dynamic, multidisciplinary team consists of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists who have advanced training in neurodevelopmental, orthopedic and sports rehabilitation. For young athletes, we offer tailored programs that bring together our clinical expertise and the latest in technology and equipment to address rehabilitation needs, enhance sports performance, and minimize injury risk. For infants and toddlers in need of developmental services, we have a dedicated area to work on motor skills, functional abilities, balance, and coordination. 

There are two physical therapy gyms uniquely designed to provide specialized and individual care. The space also includes an occupational therapy gym with a climbing wall, age-specific sensory equipment, and a fine-motor hand therapy space as well as private speech therapy rooms with SMART Board™ access for those patients with language and communication therapy needs. Specialty trained speech-language pathologists can also address swallowing and feeding impairments. Additionally, a dedicated Equipment and Assistive Technology Clinic supports kids in need of mobility equipment, assistive devices, or augmentative communication tools. 

A Kid-Centric Approach

Our highly trained experts work closely with specialists across the tristate region and beyond. Consultation and communication with all members of your child's care team, from pediatricians and physiatrists to orthopedic surgeons and neurologists, is of the utmost importance to achieve the best possible outcomes. HSS pediatric rehabilitation offers programs that are personalized, holistic, and fun. Our services range from consultation to intensive programs based on therapist examination and plan of care. 

Your child can receive care from one of our therapists even if they have not been seen previously by an HSS physician. All patients require a prescription from a doctor, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner for therapy services.
