Evidence-based practice in pediatric rehabilitation involves integration of best available research, clinical expertise, and values and priorities of children and their families in guiding decisions to optimize outcomes. In this way, EBP systematically brings together these elements to promote individualized, effective, and accountable care for children with special needs provided in healthcare, educational, and community settings. This paper discusses how evidence-based practice can optimize rehabilitation for children with special needs by integrating high-quality research, clinical expertise, and family values across healthcare, education, and community systems. It underlines the role of early intervention, culturally and contextually adapted services, and technology-enhanced approaches, including artificial intelligence, tele-rehabilitation, virtual reality, and mobile apps, in improving developmental outcomes, access, and engagement for diverse pediatric populations. The paper further discusses ongoing challenges, such as research-to-practice gaps, limited resources, practitioner training needs, and heterogeneity in the children's developmental profiles, and puts forward strategies focused on capacity building, policy support, interdisciplinary collaboration, and equity-oriented implementation that could serve to strengthen EBP within pediatric rehabilitation.
