The Consortium Overview

The Consortium improves rehabilitation outcomes for children and youth with disabilities with special health care needs by increasing the effectiveness of service systems. Using an integrated, multifaceted research program, and related training, dissemination, and technical assistance activities, the program targets five areas:

1. Access issues in pediatric rehabilitation
2. The impact of cost control strategies on provision of health care
3. Promising practices in transition from pediatric to adult health care
4. Effective telehealth strategies for interdisciplinary service delivery in remote areas
5. Training issues in assistive technology

In addition, a variety of strategies utilize this information and other knowledge to provide training and technical assistance to the target audiences of families, consumers, providers, researchers, policy-makers, and managed care organizations to improve rehabilitative services to this population in order to enhance their quality of life and that of their families. The RRTC is run by the Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development in collaboration with Brandeis University's Heller School, the University of Florida's Institute of Child Health Policy, and Family Voices.
