In July, the IPRC hosted a networking call on re-opening post lockdown in many areas.  Providers joined to discuss practices, policies, and challenges they experienced with providing face to face services.

The group requested that we re-convene to again discuss and share ideas.

The IPRC invites all pediatric rehabilitation providers to join us as the group again discusses ideas, practices, and policies related to face to face visits throughout an episode of care during the pandemic. Providers from all settings are encouraged to attend. 

Please come prepared to share.
Policies, Guidelines, Questions, and Resources are welcomed.
