This symposium is essential for clinicians involved in pediatric cardiac care, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists.The Pediatric Cardiac Rehabilitation (PCR) framework will be reviewed, a comprehensive model tailored for children with heart conditions. Unlike adult models focused on exercise, PCR addresses broader needs such as motor skills, nutrition, cognitive development, and emotional support. Attendees will learn about the importance of early, targeted interventions in critical and acute care across five key domains to improve these children's long-term outcomes and quality of life. The session will highlight the use of specific functional outcome assessments and present case studies demonstrating PCR's application in acute care. This presentation aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools for holistic, family-centered care, ensuring children with cardiac conditions can achieve their full potential. Join us to deepen your understanding and enhance your rehabilitation strategies for this vulnerable population.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to detail the PCR Conceptual Framework by clearly articulating its components, discussing pediatric heart patients' unique challenges, and identifying why adult models are unsuitable for pediatric cases.
Upon completion, participants will be able to implement standardized assessments by selecting and using at least two standardized functional outcome assessments for pediatric heart disease in critical and acute settings, enhancing their ability to address these patients'' functional challenges.
Upon completion, participants will be able to apply the PCR framework in practice by analyzing two case studies and sharing one insight or challenge about implementing the framework in their practice during a reflective discussion.
