Continued Re-opening of Amazing Kidz Therapy

As Amazing Kidz Therapy has begun its reopening process this week. We wanted to share with everyone what the remaining re-opening schedule will look like so that everyone can begin to make more regular appointments.

Week of May 25:

-        AKT will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day

-        Two therapists will be present and seeing clients in the clinic each day. Here is the schedule for this week:

o   Tuesday: Miss Kat – 9am to 5pm; Miss Becky – 11am to 5pm

o   Wednesday: Miss Ashley and Miss Brittany – 9am to 5pm

o   Thursday: Miss Ashley – 9am to 5pm; Miss Becky – 11am to 5pm

o   Friday: Miss Kat and Miss Brittany – 9am to 5pm

-        Therapists will continue to offer Teletherapy sessions throughout the week. This is an option for those that do not feel comfortable returning just yet and/or are unable to come in at the aforementioned times. If you have had a standing Teletherapy time it will remain as scheduled, even if your therapist is in the office on that day.

Starting June 1^st therapists will all resume their regular hours within the clinic. All therapists will continue to offer Teletherapy to clients to prefer that delivery mode.

All of our precautions will remain in place, including:

·        Our staff WILL be wearing face masks. We recognize that this may be scary for some of our children, so we ask that if you are choosing to return to the office that you begin wearing a mask in front of your child to work to desensitizing them.

·        We expect all adults to wear face masks when in the office. We encourage children who are able to tolerate masks to wear them in the office as well. This is for your safety as well as ours.

·        When choosing an in-person appointment, you will be asked the following questions PRIOR to us taking your child back into a treatment room:

a.      Has anyone in your house been confirmed OR suspected to have COVID19 in the past 14 days?

b.      Have you been in contact with anyone with confirmed OR suspected COVID19 in the past 14 days?

c.      Does anyone within your house have a fever or cough at this time?

d.      Have you or anyone in your house traveled in the past 30 days?

·        If your answer to any of the above is Yes, your child will not be seen in person on that day. We ask that with knowing this in advance, if the answer is Yes, that you do not schedule an in-person appointment until you can answer No to all of the above questions.

·        Families are asked NOT to come into the building upon arrival. Parents are to call the office from their car when they have arrived in the parking lot. Once it is time for your child’s appointment, the office will call the parent/caregiver to notify them that they may enter. This is to assist with keeping every family socially distancing.

·        The waiting room will remain closed. If you are not accompanying your child into the treatment session you are asked to wait for them in your vehicle.

·        No more than 1 person is to accompany the child into the clinic. If you have other children with you, we can meet you outside to collect your child and can then bring your child back out to you when their session is complete.

·        All visitors entering the clinic will have their temperatures taken to ensure that no one is entering with an elevated temp.

·        All payments MUST be made over the phone with your credit card PRIOR to beginning your child’s appointment. This can be done when you arrive in the parking lot or ahead of time. We can also run it manually if you have completed a Credit Card Authorization Form.

·        All treatment rooms and equipment/toys are being disinfected after each treatment.

·        A very strict cleaning schedule has been implemented for numerous times throughout the day in all common areas.

Although we plan to be physically reopened at this time with the highest level of precautions being taken, we understand this may not be an option for some of our families. We are continuing to offer virtual services. This is another mode of us to deliver high quality services to your child to prevent regression and continue with their progress. We have seen tremendous success with this delivery method over the past several weeks. ALL group therapy offerings will remain virtual only at this point. We want to inform all clients that as of June 1^st all of our Private Pay services, both in person and Teletherapy visits, will be $60/30 minutes.

Our business office will begin contacting families to begin scheduling appointments for next week as well as for regularly scheduled visits starting in June.

We thank you all very much for your continued patience with us, as we all transition to a new norm within the office. We are working are very hardest to keep the environment as safe as possible for everyone, which will take extra time from our normal daily routine.

We are so very excited to see you all very soon! Stay well.
