Pediatric Rehabilitation 

Pediatric rehabilitation services at the Ahlbin Center offer outpatient speech language therapy (SLP), occupational therapy (OT), and physical therapy (PT) for infants, children, adolescents and teens.

Children receive age-appropriate treatment with individualized therapy in private treatment rooms or play-based therapy settings. Our treatment rooms are designed with the child in mind. Our equipment, designed especially for children, includes a body weight supported treadmill, a sensory gym, and floor-based and suspended climbing equipment, inclusive of a rock-climbing wall.
