About Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute – Cambridge
Children develop at different rates. At times, some children need extra help to move, think, communicate, learn and even play—sometimes it’s because of a condition or syndrome they are experiencing and other times it’s not. In both cases pediatric rehabilitation services can provide the extra care and help they need to improve their skills in movement, speech, feeding, self care skills or overall quality of life.
Services are focused on play because play is a child’s work; it’s how kids explore their environment and develop new skills and grow and it’s fun! Programs are available to kids of all ages, from infants to youth who are in transition to adulthood.

You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
