Habilitative Services are therapeutic services provided to children with genetic conditions or conditions present from birth. Habilitative services are designed to enhance the child’s ability to function. These are similar to rehabilitative services provided to adults or children who acquire a condition later in life. The key difference is that rehabilitative services are geared toward reacquiring a skill that has been lost, while habilitative services are provided to help acquire a skill in the first place.
The delivery of habilitative services may require coordination with a private physician and/or private insurance company. Please review the Parents’ Guide to Habilitative Services for more information.
Could you paraphrase the definition of habilitative services provided for children with genetic conditions, and explain how delivery may require coordination with a private physician or insurance company?
