COVID UPDATE:

We are now seeing patients in-office and are also offering teletherapy for speech/language, OT, and myofunctional patients where appropriate

 

In the interest of reopening the office, and following guidelines set forth by the CDC and ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association), we will institute the following measures.  We encourage patients use teletherapy where appropriate.

​

Guidelines

• Therapists will verbally screen patients before visit

• Any patient who has had any symptoms of illness, and especially a fever, within the previous 2 weeks will not be able to book or keep any in-office visits scheduled

• Therapists and Staff must be fever free for 3 days before returning to work

• Only one therapist and patient will be allowed onsite at the same time

• Only one caregiver per patient may attend the session; please no families

• The waiting room is closed; please arrive, masked, at the exact time of your scheduled session

• Additional Caregivers can watch sessions via Face Time on their phone or iPad from their car

• Therapists, patients and caregivers will be required to wash hands before and after visits (public restroom just outside office door) … hand sanitizer is not a replacement for hand washing

• Once in therapist's office, patients will not be required to wear a mask due to the nature of the therapy

• Caregivers must wear a mask; therapists will wear gloves and a face shield

• Sessions will be scheduled with breaks for proper sanitation

• Therapist's offices will be set up with the bare minimum of furniture and equipment and only items that can be easily sanitized will be used during therapy

• Any patient who has had exposure to CV19 will only be seen via teletherapy

• Any patient or caregiver infected will require a medical note to return, with negative test results and a minimum of 14 days after recovery in order to enter the facility
