PPEC Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy for medically fragile children involves personalized therapeutic approaches designed to help them manage and improve their emotional and behavioral health. This therapy often includes techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps children identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, and play therapy, which allows children to express their feelings and cope with their experiences through play. The goal is to address issues like anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges, providing children with coping strategies and tools to enhance their overall well-being. By integrating behavioral therapy into their care, medically fragile children can develop better emotional regulation, social skills, and a sense of stability, which is important for their holistic development and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Children’s Rehab PPEC (Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care) stands as a steadfast support for those who qualify for PPEC services and children necessitating professional medical interventions like administering insulin, injections, tube feedings, tracheostomies, and gastrointestinal tubes. Recognizing that premature babies often harbor a risk for developmental issues, our facility is equipped with a dedicated baby room, where infants are provided with cribs and are vigilantly monitored and observed at all times to manage requirements like oxygen support or seizure management. There is a notable overlap, as many children who meet the qualifying medical criteria also experience developmental delays, physical disabilities, or learning disabilities. Catering to these multifaceted needs, Children’s Rehab adopts a special education curriculum and often integrates behavioral health therapy, ensuring that each child’s developmental, medical, and emotional needs are met with equal, unwavering dedication and expertise. We don’t just provide medical care; we nurture growth, development, and learning in a safe, attentive environment.
PPEC services, including those provided by Children’s Rehab PPEC, are typically funded through Medicaid and some private insurance plans, ensuring that families can access necessary care without bearing the financial burden directly.
Behavioral health therapy is intricately woven into the Children’s Rehab PPEC program, providing individualized strategies that cater to each child’s emotional and developmental needs and ensuring that behavioral health is considered alongside physical and medical care in a holistic approach.
Children at Children’s Rehab PPEC who exhibit behavioral challenges, emotional difficulties, or have specific developmental delays that impact their social and emotional well-being are often the beneficiaries of the integrated behavioral therapy to ensure a holistic care approach.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s therapy at Children’s Rehab PPEC, through regular updates, involvement in goal-setting, and collaborative planning with the therapeutic team, ensuring continuity and supportive reinforcement of therapeutic strategies at home.
Income eligibility for PPEC services through Medicaid can vary by state; generally, it is determined based on the child’s medical needs and not solely the family’s income, but it’s crucial to check the specific guidelines and criteria applicable in your locality or consult with a Medicaid representative or a social worker for accurate guidance.
