Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh (CI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to children with special needs and their families in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States and Western Pennsylvania.
Mary Irwin Laughlin founded CI in 1902 as the Home for Crippled Children to care for a six-year-old boy whose legs had been severed in a train accident. Later called The Rehabilitation Institute, CI today is a leader in pediatric rehabilitation techniques and provides individualized treatment programs along a broad continuum of care: inpatient care, outpatient care, transitional and subacute care, home care, and The Day School.
CI is located at 1405 Shady Avenue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
