Condell's Pediatric Alternatives in Creative Therapy (PACT) is a unique medical support service in Lake County for children and teens with neuromuscular disorders, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, head trauma, and spinal cord injuries, as well as those with developmental delay and speech-language disorders. PACT also treats children with genetic and congenital anomalies, structural abnormalities, such as cleft palate, and hearing/vision problems, sensory integration dysfunction and those receiving radiation or chemotherapy treatments.Staffed with an interdisciplinary team of professionals, including physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), speech-language pathologists and a social worker, PACT partners with the family, school, physician and community to provide comprehensive intervention, as well as an individualized treatment program for each child.
Affiliated with Condell's Department of Rehabilitation Services, PACT became the first hospital-based program of its kind in Lake County in 1992. Today, PACT serves approximately 130 families and the demand for its services continues to grow.
We know children with unique needs and their families sometimes require special support and attention. Our goal is to help your child and your family meet these challenges, supporting you through every stage of your child's development.
