Abstract
Working with children in medical rehabilitation requires consideration of important elements to facilitate optimal outcomes. Rehabilitation management of children involves identifying the child’s physical and mental functional capabilities. An interdisciplinary team then selects interventions that are appropriate over the course of the disability/problem with consideration of the child’s developmental age and continuum of care across professionals. Sometimes approaches should be modified for children who are born with a disability (“congenital”) and for those who acquire it and can recall “before” and “now.” Some general concepts applicable for those working in pediatric rehabilitation are described in this chapter.
