Acute Rehabilitation
We offer specialized and intensive rehabilitation services that are centred on patients and families.
The Acute Rehabilitation Clinic at Sunny Hill Health Centre offers a variety of rehabilitation services for children and youth who have experienced serious health challenges, such as:
- Acquired brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Physical disabilities
- Other specialized medical needs
As part of our services, we:
- Assess the needs of children for rehabilitation/habilitation
- Work with families to develop a personalized plan
- Offer goal-based therapy within a supportive environment
We also provide post-operative care, such as gastrostomy tube and orthopedic care, including education and therapy.
Referral information
To access our services, patients need a referral from a doctor or specialist.
Providers can find more details on the Acute Rehabilitation Referral page.
Appointment details
After referral, we conduct initial consults with patients and caregivers. This is preferably in-person, though virtual options are available if needed. The team typically includes a developmental pediatrician, a therapist (such as an occupational therapist) and a social worker. Residents/fellows and other learners may also be present.
During the consult, we will discuss the child's needs with the parent or caregiver. If necessary, we will examine the child physically. At the end of the consult, we will provide guidance on next steps and, if applicable, set a date for admission.
