Was referred by my primary to Spaulding for OT for a hand wrist injury. Based on my initial consultation I didnt think my OT was a good fit for me or that Spaulding was a good fit because of the lack of flexibility with their scheduling. I called after one appointment and cancelled future appointments - not impressed and would not recommend this rehab hospital... this facility is much to busy to offer the care that Im looking for as a person and a patient.

Outstanding care in every way I spent 3 weeks inpatient several months outpatient here in March 2019 after a bad ski accident compound fracture broke my tibia fibula as well as my wrist. The care I received both inpatient outpatient was beyond excellent The staff I worked with here were angels who worked night day to help me get well again physically mentally emotionally spiritually. I can honestly say theyre miracle workers

I believe this facility only takes patients that are 100 certain will recover under their ever-changing entry requirements. It was our rehab of choice on 3 different acute situations because we understood it was the best. However it was always one flimsy excuse after another for not accepting him. 1st was back surgery...he had a cpap no cant take him. 2nd he fell and fractured his c7 no cant take him because of his medications 3rd time bypass surgery still waiting for them to come up with yet another excuse. Caseworker says well they only take acute cases. He doesnt need long term care...he needs someone at spalding to care about him more than insurance money...fed up and disgusted

Was at Spaulding for rehab after emergency back surgery. Dr Wennemer and both therapists Meghan Meaghan did an outstanding job working or as I called it beating me up lol with me regain the ability to walk again. Entire staff at Spaulding were awesome as well. If you need a rehab facility this is the place to be.

My wife had major back surgery and she was released to Spaulding for intense rehab. Almost from they day she arrived they decided she was going to be released on a specific date to a skilled nursing facility SNF before they even started to work with her. After the first two days they said they had to release her under Medicare guidelines because she could not do 3 hours a day of therapy due to her pain. By day 3 she was able to do the therapy and they said she was making good progress but they were still going to release her on the scheduled date. In my conversation with her doctor he agreed she would benefit from the 3 hours of rehab they provide as opposed to the 1 hour of rehab she will get in a SNF. He eventually admitted that Medicare was dictating her length of stay. After leaning on the doctor he admitted he could ask Medicare to extend her release date but in the end he refused. Apparently even though the patient care is excellent Spaulding is more concerned about not making waves with Medicare even if it means shortchanging the patient on the care they agree she would benefit from. My next step will be to contact whoever is the head of the Spaulding system.

PT team member Joan is a 1 star. She never introduced herself clearly had never looked at the file or history prior to the session and was trying to catch up with a barrage of medical questions without having to read all the info while I was doing exercises. I stopped to speak to her and she brusquely told me to continue. She asked if the prior session my first one where I was actually getting physical therapy was helpful. I said not really for the pain. From there on she was agitated. She demanded very sneery in her speaking to me to know who referred me here. I responded my GP. She demanded to know who my orthopedic and rhumatologists were I dont have them because they should be referring patients- not a GP. This is completely false. I called her bluff and provided the name of the top orthopedic surgeon on the Cape. She didnt know the name at all. When I asked her who shed recommend she said I dont know the people on the Cape Im from off-Cape. Wheres your MRI I said that Pat had entered all the information about the CT scan in the history last time and she says she liked to get all the info herself wasting yet another session. Again more hustling bristling of questions without ever looking at me or at the form of my exercises. She was not helping anyone. Her whole demeanor of hostile pseudo-haughty importance just turned me off. She was not at all interested in helping or understanding - just hurrying for her schedule. I did not want to sit there and listen to her aggressive and sneery tone. Kind of hard to take a PT seriously when they dont read the patient history are obese themselves want a lengthy recap and are angry - all the while telling you to hurry because of another patient. I got up and left when she was visibly rolling her eyes and looking at the other PT person to somehow weigh in on the situation. This exemplified that my patient privacy HIPPA was just a formality - and that she was going to say something about me in front of another patient and - she did Good riddance Joan Apparently Spaulding is so desperate to hire PTs that miserable obese individuals with aggressive personalities are welcome. I returned to the front desk and ask to be rescheduled with ANYONE but Joan. They were very understanding and very helpful. The staff seemed like it has happened before regarding a reschedule with Joan and said some people just dont like her lets see if we can get you someone else.

My wife had a stroke and was being released from an intensive care unit and I had to make the perplexing decision as to where to send her next. I choose the Spaulding Acute Rehabilitation Hospital in Sandwich MA. It was the best decision of my life.This was realized the moment I stepped through the front door. The Pandemic has created may complexities especially for health care facilities. The security staff where there to explain the regulations and were most helpful and understanding.When in her room she was given the best of care by the nurses and their assistants. If she needed attention staff responded immediately even in situations where they were not assigned to my wife.The physical therapy teams were extremely knowledgeable and personable. She made great gains while under their care.Most notable and comforting were the opportunities for me to come in and watch the staff in action and receive direct feedback.The doctor supervising her care made frequent updates and was receptive to meeting with my wife and I.Wish I could cite specific individuals but I have a fear that I may miss some. I would like to think you know who you are.Special thanksPeter Fletcher

My elderly mom was in Spaulding for therapy after a fall she had the option of going to JML which is closer to our homes but were really glad she chose Spaulding. The staff was outstanding she was helped immensely by all the therapy and she felt very comfortable and happy there. Shes a very picky eater but actually gained a little much-needed weight during her stay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
responding to questions
starting or ending conversation
changing conversation topics
using gestures like pointing
understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
When you visit a neurologist, they’ll assess your child’s needs, run some tests (think imaging or EEG), and diagnose. From there, they’ll create a customized treatment plan. Medication, lifestyle tweaks, or maybe even a referral to another specialist could be on the table.
There unfortunately isn’t one test for all neurodevelopmental conditions. Most likely you will go into a visit to test one or two medical conditions. If you are looking for a comprehensive autism evaluation, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, or neuropsychologists are the preferred specialists who can diagnose autism.
No, neurologists focus mainly on non-surgical interventions. If your child needs surgery, neurologists might point you in the direction of a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Music therapy can take place in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, the child’s own home, rehabilitation centers, and clinics.
A therapy session will vary from child to child, depending on the child’s specific needs. Before your child starts music therapy, their music therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan for your child. Depending on your child’s goals their treatment may involve singing, dancing, listening to music, playing an instrument, or even composing music.
Once you find a music therapist, the therapist will perform an evaluation to determine if music therapy is a good fit for your child as well as determine possible goals. The evaluation will be comprehensive and look at your child’s response to a variety of musical stimuli, including giving your child an opportunity to play with instruments or listen to a variety of music types.
Evaluations will vary based on setting. For example, private practice has a number of evaluation tools while schools typically use an evaluation tool called the SEMTAP (special education music therapy assessment protocol) that focuses on looking at a student’s IEP goals and how or if the addition of music aligns with their IEP goals.
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
