the Pediatrics and Adolescent Unit. This unit serves children
from birth to adolescents with a variety of disabilities and

of Chicago. The ABCs work with the RIC's Volunteer Resource
Department and the Rehabilitation Staff in providing quality
care to the patients by:
- Visiting patients
- Helping patients with activities individually or in groups
- Helping patients to increase their independence and potential
Board members also have opportunities to volunteer at the
RIC's Helen M. Galvin Health & Fitness Center, and for
ad hoc events such as car seat safety checks. All volunteers
must complete Volunteer Orientation and Training prior to
participating in volunteer activities. ABC Schedule: Twice
