PPEC Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy for PPEC Patients
Welcome to Children’s Rehab, a leading provider of Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) services in Florida. Established in 1991, our facility is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children with complex medical needs in a safe and nurturing environment. As a PPEC medical daycare and PPEC physical therapy provider, we specialize in caring for medically fragile children who require skilled nursing care, therapy services, and other medical interventions throughout the day. PPEC is a program that is prescribed by a physician and is designed for children who require ongoing medical care beyond what can be provided in a traditional daycare setting. PPEC facilities are required to meet specific state licensing and certification requirements in order to provide high-quality care for children with complex medical needs. In Florida, PPEC facilities must adhere to strict regulations and standards set forth by the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). At Children’s Rehab, PPEC physical therapy is offered as part of the holistic care that children receive when they qualify for PPEC. Our team of experienced physical therapists work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to develop individualized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each child. By integrating physical therapy with other medical services, we strive to improve the overall health and well-being of the children in our care.

Medical Daycare Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on the evaluation and treatment of children with a wide range of conditions affecting their physical development and function. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in helping children achieve their developmental milestones, improve their balance, coordination, and mobility, and enhance their overall quality of life. Children who have developmental delays, neurological disorders, genetic conditions, orthopedic injuries, or other physical impairments can benefit greatly from pediatric physical therapy. This type of therapy is tailored to the unique needs of each child, taking into account their age, diagnosis, and individual goals. At Children’s Rehab, we provide exceptional care with physical therapy for PPEC patients. Our team of licensed physical therapists have extensive experience working with children with complex medical needs and use a holistic approach to care. We work closely with each child’s healthcare team to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. Our PPEC physical therapy services include assessments, interventions, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that each child is progressing towards their goals. We also provide family education and training to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools to support their child’s ongoing development. With our comprehensive approach to care, we strive to help each child reach their full potential and achieve optimal physical function.
