Child Development & Rehabilitation Centre​

​The Child Development and Rehabilitation Center (CDRC) plays a crucial role in addressing the needs of children with various developmental, behavio​ral, occupational and speech challenges.

CDRCs often provide comprehensive assessments to identify developmental delays, behavioral, occupational and speech challenges in children. ​​Multidisciplinary teams of paediatricians, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists collaborate to assess different aspects of a child's development.

Treatment and Intervention

​​Once a thorough assessment is conducted, CDRCs develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each child's specific needs. ​Treatment may involve therapeutic interventions, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral therapy. ​​Early intervention is a key focus, as addressing challenges at an early age can have a significant impact on a child's overall development.

Behavioural Support

For children with behavioural challenges, CDRCs may offer behavioral interventions and counseling to address issues like ADHD or conduct disorders. ​​Behavioral support can include strategies for parents and caregivers to manage and cope with challenging behaviors effectively.​

Parental Guidance and Education

CDRCs often involve parents and caregivers in the intervention process, providing guidance and education on how to support their child's development at home. ​​Parental involvement is crucial for the continuity of care and to reinforce therapeutic strategies outside the clinical setting. ​​​Overall, Child Development and Rehabilitation Centers play a vital role in promoting the optimal development and well-being of children facing a range of challenges, contributing to their integration into society and improved quality of life.​
