Covid 19

In accordance with Public Health Ontario guidelines and CASLPO recommendations

Reduce the number of sessions per day to allow for cleaning between visits

Use a phased approach to resuming services – begin by seeing children with lower risk of transmission (see below) 

Screening all families prior to entry into the clinic

Waiting room will be closed

Layout of the office allows for 6 foot distancing at all times

One parent/caregiver will be permitted in the therapy room. Drop off and pick up if appropriate. Unfortunately siblings will not be permitted at this time

Parents/caregivers will be asked to wear a mask if staying in the clinic (please bring your own)

School-aged children will be asked to wear a mask IF tolerated. Please bring a mask your child feels comfortable wearing

I will be wearing a face shield at all times

A plexiglass shield will be placed on the therapy table to separate me and the child during the session for added protection

I will provide hand sanitizer and access to the bathroom to wash hands prior to each session and before leaving

Contactless payment

Who will be resuming therapy first?

In keeping with the guidelines for resuming services the first group of clients will be determined based on the following:

Child’s ability to maintain a 6’ distance

Child’s ability to remain behind the plexiglass shield for the duration of the session

Engagement in therapy with less use of items such as toys and games which could act as a potential vehicle for transmission

A little note about therapy

It is my job to make sure that therapy sessions are just as fun and engaging as always! As you know it has always been my focus to have highly productive and effective therapy sessions. This will continue to be a priority as I develop new therapy plans. Therapy may look a little different but I have a lot of great ideas I can’t wait to try! Many of our usual board games and toys will be replaced with paper activities and crafts which the child will use and then take home.
