It is very important that we coordinate our treatment and care with what you are doing at home and with any other school or therapy services your child receives. We place an emphasis on working toward goals that are meaningful for your child and family and that will make a difference in how your child is able to play, move and participate in home and community activities. If a parent is unable to accompany the child, another responsible adult must bring the child and sign the consent to treat and medical information release forms. If parents of patients over 14 must leave during a therapy session, we must be able to contact you. Parents must leave a pager or cell phone number where you may be reached at all times during a therapy session.
Siblings also play an important role in a patient's treatment or home program.
There may be times when your child's therapist will choose to incorporate the siblings in treatment. This will be decided on an individual basis, otherwise, siblings will need to remain in the waiting room supervised by a family member or friend. As a rule, we do not have the treatment space to accommodate siblings in the treatment area. Your child must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before attending therapy. It is the parent's responsibility to contact the therapist immediately to cancel and reschedule the appointment.
