HOME HEALTH
Johnson, 2018
When your child gets sick, the hospital will evaluate and determine if rehabilitation (rehab) therapy is needed. If your child previously received rehab services, you may get inpatient services. Once you are discharged, discharge orders will be written to address swallowing, cognitive, as well as speech and language needs, if length of stay is prolonged. If your child is school-aged, presenting a copy of the medical report to the school may help determine if there is an educational need for special education services.
