To need an orthotic or prosthetic device can be frightening and upsetting for a child of any age. Fear and confusion may cause the child to be uncooperative during fitting and resistant to wearing and using the device. It is essential for comfort and function that the device be fitted properly and that the child be taught how to use it properly.

At NEOPS we strive to give the best care to our young patients and to form a solid working relationship with their parents or caregivers. Our pediatric rooms are specially designed to put children at ease. We offer optional decals and bright colors for our pediatric orthotic and prosthetic devices. Our practitioners are caring, patient and thorough. We strive to put each child at ease and help them derive the maximum benefit from their device.
