Our ultimate goal is to reach a point of comfort where the patient can be back on their own, however there are a multitude of developmental and environmental factors that weigh into this decision. We find that the vast majority of children, especially those who are school age, do just fine on their own.
Parents and/or guardians are still involved in all aspects of their child’s treatment, even if they aren’t sitting right next to them the entire time. This is just another reason why we encourage everyone to schedule a simple consultation visit so we can decide together the best course of action.
