The 4,000-square-foot center is one of the most comprehensive facilities for patients seeking physical, occupational, speech, audiology and social group therapy. “A fully dedicated pediatric rehabilitation center means patients can receive specialized medical care close to home,” says Susan Robins, pediatric program manager. NBA legend and current Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Darrell Armstrong and the Darrell Armstrong Foundation for Premature Babies Inc. are longtime Florida Hospital supporters with the second location of the Darrell Armstrong Center for Pediatric Rehabilitation. “Being a father of two premature babies, I know how scary the uncertainties are when your child is diagnosed,” Armstrong explains. “I feel blessed to be able to o er Central Florida families the opportunity to receive critical services and o set monetary costs for their child’s development for everyday growth.” The new facility features a developmental gym with a race track with tricycles, hand bikes and scooters; a sensory room with a rock climbing wall, swings and tactile wall panels; private speech therapy rooms; occupational therapy rooms with Wii games and flat screen TVs; therapy iPads; and an audiology room with a sound booth. 2 For questions or to RSVP to events, call (407) 303-BEST (2378). http://www.healthy100.org/deals
