Child Life Specialists are healthcare professionals specially trained to help children and their families cope during healthcare experiences. Child Life Specialists strive to reduce the anxiety that may be related to medical procedures by preparing children and families based on the child’s developmental level as well as being present during the test to provide distraction and relaxation techniques.
Child life services are provided free of charge and available to any family with a child having a fluoroscopic procedure at WMC. If child life services are requested by a parent, the Child Life Specialist can be contacted in advance of the scheduled test. Our goal is to decrease anxiety and make this experience as comfortable as possible.
