The Rehabilitation Program is part of the Orthopedics Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado. With the goal of optimizing your child’s abilities, the Rehabilitation Program helps ease the effects of illness or disability on development, and allows your child to reach his or her full potential. We do this by bringing together a team of highly trained pediatric specialists who work in collaboration with your child, family and primary care physician.
