When a child suffers a traumatic brain injury the path to recovery is often a challenging one. The brain injury program at Children’s Specialized Hospital provides young patients with a broad range of medical care and rehabilitation therapy to recover from their injuries. We treat individuals who have acquired a brain injury through physical trauma (i.e., TBI, concussion) or a medical condition that affects brain function. |
