We run a fully integrated developmental service through the Gordon Bell Child Development Centre. A multidisciplinary team of specialists attends to children referred from the hospital’s facilities network, from partner hospital and schools for assessment and interventions for a variety of physiological, behavioural, or learning challenges. These conditions include neurological, developmental delay and disorders, genetic conditions, and congenital conditions.
About the service
Why Us
Development and Rehabilitation specialist clinics are a type of hospital that specializes in helping individuals with developmental disabilities or injuries. These clinics have a team of healthcare professionals who work together to create a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
Developmental disabilities can range from physical and cognitive impairments to speech and language disorders. Rehabilitation specialists help patients with these disabilities overcome the limitations that they face and work towards improving their quality of life. This is achieved through a combination of therapies, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and behavioral therapy.
At a Development and Rehabilitation specialist clinic, patients undergo a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of their disability and the best course of treatment. The team of healthcare professionals includes doctors, nurses, therapists, and other specialists who work together to provide personalized care. The clinic also utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and technology to aid in the treatment process.
The goal of a Development and Rehabilitation specialist clinic is to help patients achieve the highest level of independence possible. This may involve teaching patients new skills or adapting existing ones to work around their limitations. The clinic also provides support and education to family members and caregivers, ensuring that they are equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to support their loved ones.
