Comprehensive, expert care
When a child has neuromuscular symptoms, families want answers as soon as possible. Our care team can see and evaluate your child quickly, and we have the expertise to diagnose and treat rare neuromuscular conditions.
Through our program, your child can get help from experts across many specialties to get the therapies they need. We also coordinate care among these specialists, so you can be confident that your child is receiving the care they need at the right time.
When a child is referred to us, we do a careful clinical evaluation and diagnosis. We offer:
Genetic testing and counseling
Muscle and nerve biopsies
Electrophysiological testing (electromyography, nerve conduction studies and repetitive nerve stimulation)
Occupational and physical therapy
Speech therapy
Nutritional assessments
Social work support
Case manager support
Advancing care through research
We participate in national and global research trials. This research helps advance knowledge about these complex conditions, and also tests promising new therapies. If other therapies have not succeeded, you may be able to enroll your child in a study exploring new treatments.
