Advancing Human Ability ®
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is not just a new research hospital. It’s a new kind of research hospital, one that is revolutionizing the future of rehabilitation and creating a new category of medicine. It is designed explicitly for the practice of “translational medicine” — a new model for medical care in which research is applied directly (translated) during patient care. It is the world’s first and only center of its kind.
OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION Available at locations throughout Chicagoland Our pediatric outpatient programs provide physician and therapy services for children of all ages. If your child is referred by another physician, our therapists will collaborate with him or her, set goals and ensure that your child has the opportunity to achieve the best possible outcome.
INPATIENT REHABILITATION During an inpatient stay, our integrated team of pediatric rehabilitation physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists will develop a customized care plan designed to help meet your child's unique rehabilitation goals. Our team also includes psychologists, social workers, art and music therapists, therapy dogs, and a Child Life specialist to assist with social and emotional needs. DAYREHAB CENTER ® Available at locations throughout Chicagoland Our DayRehab Centers set the standard for patients who no longer require hospitalization, but still need intensive, interdisciplinary rehabilitation care. The goal is to help patients regain the highest level of function while living at home. The pediatric team at our DayRehab Centers includes physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and psychologists. This team also works to facilitate a successful return to school for each child, making recommendations, accommodations and modifications when necessary.
