The sixth floor of Children's Bader Building contained three major areas for physiotherapy. One of these was the "Functional Room" where patients learned to manage daily activities, including climbing stairs, boarding buses and crossing the street. The practice steps in the room had the same specifications of typical Boston buildings.
