Your child may experience the world differently. He may have trouble paying attention
in the classroom or stutters when he talks. She may eat only green peas – refusing
anything else from anyone but you. Or your family needs help adapting to life with
a child with spina bifida.
Polinsky Medical Rehabilitation Center helps you and your child grow together, developing
new skills and abilities.
Our center specializes in treating children with neurological injuries. We make
sure you get the best care from your first phone call.
Children are
often referred by area doctors and clinics to our well-respected program. Polinsky is
the only comprehensive neurological treatment center serving northern Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
For children, play is “work.” Our staff helps children play, whether by touching
and feeling through obstacles in our sensory processing room or learning cause-and-effect
in our special toy rooms.
