The Division was founded in 1990. Our mission is to advance the field of pediatric physiatry and maximize the health, function, and well-being of children through the highest quality family-centered rehabilitative care, transformative research, collaboration across disciplines, advocacy and training of tomorrow’s leaders. We have 14 faculty and enjoy a culture that promotes collaboration, respect, inclusion, as well as individual and programmatic growth and development.

We have the largest training program in the field of pediatric rehabilitation with four fellows and five triple board residents and 58 graduates.

The Division provides rehabilitation care throughout the spectrum of initial diagnosis and acute medical care of infants, children, adolescents and young adults during hospitalization at Cincinnati Children’s, often including care through our inpatient consultation team or through admission to our CARF Accredited inpatient pediatric rehabilitation unit, onwards through longitudinal care in our general rehabilitation and multidisciplinary clinics.

The Division provides comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services through two key pathways: an inpatient consultation service and an accredited inpatient rehabilitation unit recognized by CARF. Programs include:

• Pediatric Specialty Rehabilitation
• Pediatric Brain Injury Rehabilitation
• Pediatric Cancer Rehabilitation
• Pediatric Interdisciplinary Inpatient Pain Management

These programs deliver individualized treatment interventions designed to restore and enhance functional independence for children, adolescents, and young adults. Patients may be recovering from neurotrauma, adjusting to new diagnoses, or experiencing functional impairments related to medical treatments. Faculty from PRM serve as primary care providers for patients admitted to the unit, leading medical management and rehabilitation strategies to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care.

The Cerebral Palsy Clinic at CCHMC provides care for over 2000 patients with a nationally recognized, innovative care model. The division currently offers more than 20 CP Team clinics per month. Each multidisciplinary team clinic is staffed in an arena format including a PRM physician, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a care coordinator, a nurse care manager, and a dietitian who collectively provide holistic care tailored around patient and family goals.

Families access additional rehabilitation care and spasticity management through CP clinics.

There are notable opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations in the following clinical settings at CCHMC:
