AB Children  with  special  health  care  needs  (SHCNs)  represent  a  growing  population  of  patients  with  unique  needs  and  are  important  from  a  health  care  services  and  policy  perspective.  Physiatry  as  a  specialty  is  uniquely  suited  to  take  a  primary  role  in  the  management  of  SHCN  children  and  can  play  a  major  part  in  limiting  the  degree  of  impairment  and  disability  that  these  children  are  at  risk  of  attaining.  Of  importance  to  the  physiatrist  is  an  understanding  of  the  role  and  impact  that  physical  and  cognitive  development  has  on  common  physiatric  problems  and  how  these  problems  may  differ  in  the  pediatric  population  versus  the  adult  population.  This  chapter  seeks  to  define  many  of  the  common  issues  addressed  by  the  pediatric  physiatrist  and  points  out  important  aspects  of  these  issues  that  are  unique  to  the  pediatric  population.
