Let's talk about pediatric rehab. We want you to have the best pediatric equipment services for your child. That's why we have partnered with national suppliers to help them fill this niche. We have the largest display of pediatric equipment in New England.

Equipment for children is frequently more challenging because of their continued growth and development. The therapist is trying to assess the childs needs now and project into an unknown future of growth, motor development and cognitive abilities. These complexities also need to be woven into lifestyle, practical function and parent or care givers abilities and choices.

Providing equipment for children is considerably more complex because of all these considerations and their varied environments.
 

	STROLLERS Strollers can meet a variety of children's needs. They can be an appropriate means of positioning and mobility for the very young child and they can provide a lightweight and easily portable option for the older child. Some models can serve as a recreational system for access to camp grounds, parks and other outdoor areas. Like most pediatric equipment it needs to be assessed to determine what the goals and priorities are for your child and how this product can best meet your child's and family needs.
	MANUAL WHEELCHAIRS There are many varieties of pediatric wheelchairs and this may be your child's primary positioning and mobility equipment. Many factors contribute to the final choice and selection. Your child's physical therapist or occupational therapist and a trained pediatric rehabilitation technician specialist from REQ can assist you in making the best choices for your child.
	POWER WHEELCHAIRS Powered mobility for children can be complex and challenging. It does however, provide wonderful opportunities to enhance independence and cognitive development. As with most pediatric equipment, careful assessment and involvement by your child's therapist and a qualified experienced REQ technology specialist will help to insure a successful outcome.
	STANDERS Standers can provide multiple benefits for children. They assist in joint stabilization, stimulation of long bone growth and can improve trunk stability and head control. They provide a child the opportunity to see life from an upright eye to eye position with their peers. They are frequently needed to build endurance and awareness as a 'get ready stage' to explore walking.
	WALKERS AND GAIT TRAINERS The use of a wheelchair does not necessarily mean that an assistive walker or gait trainer is not also appropriate for your child's development. Your therapist is the best person to consult with regarding this need. Effort and patience in the assessment and selection of products for children is particularly important. It is not unusual to try several different pieces of equipment before a good professional judgment can be made. It is important to work with a company that has experience in assisting with the evaluation of this equipment.
