Therapy Services
Our program currently has two registered occupational therapists who evaluate and treat the pediatric brachial plexus patients. They directly contribute to the provision of interdisciplinary clinic evaluations, recommendations, and therapy services - and indirectly, by communicating with distant health providers about continued care for patients with NBPP who live far away.
