This symposium will provide a retrospective analysis of physical therapy and occupational therapy data over the past 4 years collected in an intensive rehabilitation program utilizing advanced technological devices as the main intervention. We will present what trends we see with pediatric neurological diagnoses, how different patients respond to different episodes of care as well as which outcome measures are demonstrating the best clinically important differences. Through the data we will identify which length of episode shows clinically meaningful changes in each outcome and discuss why this all can be valuable when developing a plan of care and working with insurance companies.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify specific physical therapy and occupational therapy outcomes utilized during intensive episodes of care
• Define all types of intensive episodes of care utilized
• Discuss outcomes for both physical and occupational therapy used over past 4 years in intensive program
• Discuss findings as they relate to cerebral palsy
• Compare results across all neurological diagnoses seen
