Rehabilitation Services
At Voorhees Pediatric Facility, our Rehabilitation Service Department offers nurturing and supportive services for children with special medical needs in our residential program.
Our rehab team consists of licensed therapists who will help children learn how to take their first steps, first bites, and even how to maneuver their newly acquired power mobility system.

How The Rehab Department Stands Out
The Rehabilitation Services Department at Voorhees Pediatric Facility stands out compared to other specialized facilities by focusing on your child as a whole person, helping them achieve new milestones in a supportive and nurturing environment.
We also conduct an environmental assessment if your child leaves Voorhees Pediatric Facility to return home. Staff members will make sure, for example, that your doorways can accommodate a wheelchair or that your electrical outlets are well-placed for children who require ventilators or other medical technology.
Plus, our team will help educate and train your family for anything they may need to know about caring for your child at home.
Your Rehabilitative Care Team
At Voorhees Pediatric Facility, our rehab care team consists of licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and feeding service specialists. They are experienced and knowledgeable in handling various pediatric conditions, especially within a medically complex population.
Additionally, we make sure our rehab team undergoes continual training and even additional education or certification to ensure they are providing cutting-edge and innovative therapeutic intervention.
