As we plan for a pilot reopening on June 15th, please find a list of precautions we are taking to ensure the safety of our clients and employees:
- Temperature checks for employees upon arrival each day. Any employee with a temperature over 99 degrees will not be allowed in the therapy area. Any employee who has been exposed to COVID-19 will be staying home.
- All employees have been asked to follow social distancing guidelines and limit their unnecessary contact with others outside the clinic.
- Verbal confirmation of lack of exposure to and symptoms of COVID-19 from all clients or client’s guardians.
- All clinicians will wear face shields. Table top plastic barriers between the client and clinician will also be available and may be used in place of a face shield. Front office staff will wear masks.
- Hand washing before and after sessions for all clients and therapists.
- Frequent cleaning of high touch surfaces.
- Therapy sessions will be shortened by 5 minutes to allow additional time for cleaning therapy spaces between sessions.
- To allow for social distancing for our employees and clients, clinicians will be assigned a single day in the office.
- Outside food and drink (aside from food specifically for feeding therapy) will not be allowed in the building.
- At this time, we will continue to provide the majority of our sessions via telepractice and will not be providing in-home or school sessions.
- If you know that you, or a person in your home, has been exposed to or is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, stay home.
- Only one parent/guardian will be allowed in the therapy area with a patient at a time. Our preference is that the child comes unattended to limit exposure.
- Clients/families will need to wait in their cars before and during sessions. Parents/guardians can come in for transitions, but must remain 6-ft away from employees. Transitions can also be completed over the phone.
- Parents/guardians must wear a mask or cloth face covering while in the clinic. Siblings and other visitors will not be allowed in the clinic area at this time.
- Children working on dressing will need to bring their own clothes in a resealable, plastic bag. This will be stored in the clinic and used only for their therapy sessions.
- Feeding therapy will be the one type of service where we will require one guardian to participate in the session. Parents/guardians will be expected to provide their own food for feeding sessions. Clinician’s will provide guidance about what to bring at least 24 hours prior to the session.
