Heads up, drivers! If You’re Angered by Red Light Cameras Wait Till New York City Buses Start Turning on Their Cameras and Fining You  Bronx Voice  November 10, 2025 NEW YORK LOCAL NEWS  - Starting Thursday, November 13, the MTA will begin issuing automated fines on four more bus routes — the Q6, Bx20, Bx3, and Bx7.

Helping Children with Disabilities Thrive

BRONX - Pediatric disability can present itself in many ways. Children can be born with neurologic or other problems, can have accidents that cause limitations, or may have genetic diseases that cause developing limitations throughout their lifetime. 



In service to these children and their families in our community, we are expanding pediatric rehabilitation services in the Montefiore Einstein Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. Combining the largest pediatric rehabilitation physician faculty in New York, with a large team of experienced, compassionate, and educated therapists, we are providing outpatient physician evaluations and occupational, speech, and physical therapy services at a new practice site in the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM). 



Our pediatric therapists and rehabilitation medicine physicians collaborate with pediatric specialists, children, and their families to improve a child’s ability to function independently and participate actively in home, school, and community environments. Pediatric therapy promotes independence, increases participation, facilitates motor development and function, improves strength and endurance, enhances learning opportunities, and eases challenges with daily caregiving.  





The new physical and occupational therapy gym at CHAM is intended to provide children with disabilities early access to sophisticated rehabilitation care. Since there are very few rehabilitation clinics in our area that offer comprehensive services for children with developmental delay or after an injury, our new facility, staffed with rehabilitation physicians and therapists in the heart of CHAM, assures that children and their families will be able to receive coordinated care for complex problems in a single convenient location.  





Our highly trained team takes a collaborative approach focusing on the needs of the patient and their caregivers, enabling us to personalize treatment plans and make it fun and applicable to the day-to-day hurdles experienced by our patients.  

The new facility at CHAM is now open and we stand ready to perform an evaluation and then design a rehabilitation program specific to your child’s abilities and needs. If you would like to learn more about the new pediatric rehabilitation program at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore and schedule an appointment for an evaluation, please call 833-734-2201. We are here to help.
