***IMPORTANT***
If there is inclement weather we will cancel visits in our office as outlined above, however we will continue to offer the scheduled visits as telehealth. Your therapist will send you a link. This visit can be used to continue therapy done in a regular session or work with you and your child on a home plan and review progress. Any visits deemed appropriate for telehealth and then cancelled will count as a less than 24 hour cancellation.
Benefits of Telehealth
- Valuable Insight: Treating a child in their own environment provides valuable information to the clinician on concerns not seen in the clinic setting
- Parents Participation: Families are given the opportunity to participate and learn from the treatment sessions, giving them the tools needed to address issues that impact their child and other members of the family
- Engagement: By utilizing fun and engaging digital technology, teletherapy is exceptionally kid-friendly. Today’s children are comfortable with computers and love game-based activities such as video interactions and digital learning.
- Consistency: Allows children to retain learned skills and continue progression towards their goals.
- Relaxed: For shy and more reserved children, teletherapy is less intimidating the traditional face-to-face therapy.
