Physiatry as a specialty is uniquely suited to take a primary role in the management of SHCN children and can play a major part in limiting the degree of impairment and disability that these children are at risk of attaining. Of importance to the physiatrist is an understanding of the role and impact that physical and cognitive development has on common physiatric problems and how these problems may differ in the pediatric population versus the adult population. This chapter seeks to define many of the common issues addressed by the pediatric physiatrist and points out important aspects of these issues that are unique to the pediatric population.
