At Shirley Ryan AbilityLab facilities, masking is optional and encouraged. Patients are welcome to ask their providers to wear a mask. To protect our community, we ask that anyone who has experienced any cold, flu-like or respiratory symptoms within the preceding 10 days stay home.

No visitors are allowed to our clinics, though exceptions will be made for pediatric patients (one adult visitor; no siblings) or for those requiring assistance, support and/or for family training during visits.

Following your initial evaluation, a comprehensive therapy team will design a schedule and plan of care that aligns most closely with your injury and goals for recovery. The frequency, intensity and duration of your therapies may fluctuate as you achieve higher levels of ability, but a minimum of 2-3 hours of therapy, 2-5 times a week, is required. Also, note that participants must be medically stable and require two types of therapy.

In addition to physical, occupational and speech therapies, services you receive may include:

• Vocational Rehabilitation
• Rehabilitation Psychology
• Social Work
• Prosthetics and Orthotics 
• Spasticity Services 
• Wheelchair Seating and Positioning
• Other individual configuration and practice with assistive technology

We also encourage family participation to maximize long-term outcomes.
