Little differences can make a BIG difference in your child’s care. That’s why Inova Children’s Emergency Rooms offer a comprehensive Child Life Program.

Inova's child life specialists are on site to prepare and support your child during a hospital stay or visit. They can answer questions and explain medical procedures in a kid-friendly manner and will provide distraction and support during a medical procedure.

If your child gets anxious, child life specialists can help soothe through medical play and self-expressive activities.
