Pre-school children (~ 0-5 years)
Services offered by the Children's Rehabilitation Team are available to preschool-age children at
either the Woodbridge Centre located in Fredericton or the Upper River Valley Hospital located
in Waterville. Triaging of clients between locations is based on the reason for referral, the
diagnosis, and their proximity to the available services.
The Children's Rehab Team offers a wide range of outpatient rehabilitation services. The team
consists of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, Dietitians
and Social Workers specialized in pediatric care. Examples of the many services the team provides
are: neonatal follow-up assessments; developmental therapy; feeding/swallowing assessments;
parent/caregiver training; augmentative communication training; seating/positioning
assessments; and play-based exercise programs.
Children may be seen by the full team, a partial team, or may be referred to single service options
depending on the reason for referral. Initial screenings or assessments will determine a child's
treatment plan and, specifically, which disciplines will be involved based on the child's needs.
The Children's Rehab Team works with pre-school age children diagnosed with a wide variety of
conditions including: Cerebral Palsy (CP); Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); Down's Syndrome;
Spina Bifida; Muscular Dystrophy; developmental delays; and infants born prematurely or are
considered high risk. Upper River Valley Hospital 11300 Route 130 Waterville, NB E7P 1H1 Phone: (506) 375-2569 Fax: (506) 375-2840 School-age children (5 years+)
