Certified Child Life Specialist

The CCLS in the Rehabilitation department at Paley Spine Institute, will have firsthand experience working with children who often remain in our care for extended periods, sometimes months, far away from home. This separation, combined with the daily physical therapy they must endure, can be overwhelming for both the child and their family. Many children have one parent with them, while the other is at home managing household responsibilities, work, or caring for siblings, adding emotional strain to an already difficult situation.
