Child Life Services

A child life specialist is a certified professional who uses developmental, educational and therapeutic interventions to help children cope with illness and hospitalization. Our child life specialist uses her knowledge of child development to educate, prepare and support children during the adult’s hospital stay.

When a man is singing and cannot lift his voice, and another comes and signs with him, another who can lift his voice, then the first will be able to lift his voice too. That is the secret of the bond between spirit and spirit.
