How to Prepare Your Child for Rehabilitation at a Clinic

Traveling for treatment is exciting for both parents and child. Proper preparation will make this experience comfortable and productive.

Documents and Medical Information

Prepare in advance:

Passport or child's birth certificate

Medical records and reports

MRI, EEG, and other test results

List of current medications

What to Pack

For your child:

Favorite toys and books

Familiar food for the first days

Comfortable clothes for procedures

Tablet with cartoons

For parents:

Comfortable shoes (lots of walking around the clinic)

Notebook for writing down doctor's recommendations

Supply of regular medications

How to Explain to Your Child

Be honest and positive:

"We're going to kind doctors who will help you get stronger"

"There will be interesting activities and new toys"

"We'll be together, and I'll always be by your side"

First Days at the Clinic

The first 2-3 days are an adaptation period. Your child gets used to the new environment while doctors conduct diagnostics and create a treatment plan.

Don't worry if your child is fussy during the first days — it's a normal reaction to a new environment.

Our coordinators will help at every step — from document preparation to returning home.
