Caring, experienced experts and specialized treatment for your child 

The Hurley Children’s Rehabilitation Center offers a unique treatment program in a separate, child-friendly treatment environment, and features experienced therapists with skills and training in the area of pediatric rehabilitation. Our Pediatric Rehabilitation Specialists understand the physical, emotional and psychological needs of families and children throughout every stage of child and adolescent development.

We provide specialized treatment—including physical, occupational and speech therapy services—for children who have conditions that interfere with full participation in daily activities. Treatment is individualized and age-specific, with a focus on training the family to understand and work with the child’s condition and rehabilitative needs. By working closely with family and other caregivers, these short-term programs provide the information and hands-on experience necessary to help families incorporate therapeutic activities into their normal family life.
