The Therapy Process
Your First Visit |
An Intake Assessment is a snapshot of your child's current level of functioning. This is typically an hour long visit where we determine your child's strengths and weaknesses, the focus of therapy, and provide recommendations for how often they should come. |
Therapy |
Your child's therapy schedule will be set after your first visit. Weekly schedules remain constant for the academic year (September to June). A new therapy schedule is set for the months of July and August.
Sessions range from 45 minutes (40 minutes direct treatment) to 1 hour (50 minutes direct treatment). For very young children who have difficulty separating, the parents will be invited into the sessions and guided through their participation. Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the therapy process for children of all ages. You are encouraged to watch your child's session on one of the iPads provided in the waiting room. Based on your child's goals, you may be intermittently asked to join the therapy session. Your child's therapist will talk with you following each session to discuss the therapy session, progress towards the goals, and answer any questions you might have. The therapy process is an ongoing and evolving process in which the child, the parents/caregivers, and the therapist are all working as a team. Please know that we welcome an open dialogue so that we can help your child meet his or her full potential. |
