The Initial Evaluation:

Please bring in any other pertinent evaluations/reports, background information and medical history necessary to provide a comprehensive evaluation for your child.

When arriving, please check in at the front desk and have your form of payment ready.

The initial assessment lasts a full hour. We request that parents/caregivers are present at the beginning of the evaluation to discuss current concerns with their child's development. Following this introduction/discussion, we will complete the remainder of the eval with your child in a separate room. You may return to the waiting room area or observe if requested. Following the evaluation, the therapist will review your child's medical and developmental history, score standardized portions of the assessment, review and interpret clinical observations and complete a comprehensive report, with recommendations and a plan of treatment with goals developed (if ongoing services are recommended). The report can be mailed or emailed to you and a copy can be sent to your child's pediatrician. It usually takes 5-10 business days for the full completion of the written report.

Ongoing Therapy Sessions:

After receiving the recommendations for treatment from the therapist, you are ready to schedule for regular weekly sessions! We will do our best to accommodate your scheduling needs. Please refer to our Cancellation Policy and Financial Commitment forms (links available).

Payments for therapy, including co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles will be collected AT TIME OF SERVICE. Therapy services that are not covered or "Private Pay" fees will also be collected at the time of service. Please review your insurance coverage as each policy is different and may have specific limitations for services provided.

First Therapy Session:

Please arrive 5 min. before the scheduled session with your child dressed in comfortable, casual clothing that is suitable for play!

Our OT sessions are typically 1 hour in length with the last 10 minutes of the session saved for parent education, brief discussion of performance/progress, and therapist documentation of a note for each session.

Our Speech Therapy sessions are typically 30 minutes in length, with the last 5 minutes reserved for parent education and therapist documentation. We highly recommend a minimum of 2 times each week for successful outcomes.

We prefer to have parents stay in the waiting room during the treatment sessions, unless there is a health factor that requires direct supervision for medical necessity. Typically, children participate at a greater level and transition more easily between activities without their parent/caregiver present. Occasionally, a parent may be asked to observe portions or the entire session for education and/or demonstration on specific techniques to use in a home program. Parents are welcome to observe their child’s session at any time in our observation room, which allows parents to watch session activities without direct involvement.

If a parent chooses to leave the facility during their child’s treatment session, please ensure that your phone number on record is available and current. We also request that you return 5-10 minutes before the end of your child’s session so that you have time to meet with your child’s therapist and discuss their performance/progress made during the session. Please call if you are delayed and unable to return on time. Please be aware there is a $45 late “pick up” fee charged after 10 minutes past the scheduled session end time.
