Originally established in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1872 to provide rehabilitative care for children, the Children’s Seashore House moved to Philadelphia in 1990. Today, the Seashore House’s 18-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit sits on CHOP's University City Campus, where a multidisciplinary team is dedicated to the care of children with acute rehabilitation needs due to neurocognitive, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, integumentary, and musculoskeletal deficits and injuries. The Seashore House also features a day hospital program offering rehabilitation; physical, occupational, speech-language, and feeding therapy; and educational services on an outpatient basis.

Neuromotor Performance Lab

The Neuromotor Performance Lab (NMPL) is a destination for innovative study and evaluation of motor performance in infants, children, and adolescents.

Laura A. Prosser, PhD

Dr. Prosser's research focuses are the development and rehabilitation of movement in children, particularly those with neurological impairments. This includes the investigation of the development of impaired movement, the study of novel motor rehabilitation interventions in children, and the interaction between the processes of neuroplasticity and neuromaturation in sensorimotor systems.
