Your child’s first appointment at the CT CTC may be approaching. You may find yourself starting to get slightly nervous about what will happen during the assessment, and what you should ask or talk about with the therapists.
At the end of the assessment, the therapist(s) will summarize their findings, provide you with recommendations and discuss next steps.
We will discuss with you the approach most suitable for your child and develop a therapy plan.
Families/caregivers often use the Internet as a key tool to keep them informed about their child’s condition, treatments and services that might be available for their child and family/caregiver and/or their legal rights. Parents often seek advice and support from online networking groups and forums and these can help shape your plans for ensuring your child and family/caregiver get the support they need. You should always remember that while the Internet is a great source of information, there is a lot of information that is out of date, unreliable or incorrect.
Only a medical professional can give you medical advice after consulting with you and getting details about your child’s condition.
Discharging and/or transitioning a client is an essential component of effective and collaborative clinical practice management. It aims to fully involve clients, families/caregivers in the process to ensure that they receive adequate information. In all cases, you will be kept informed of any plans to discharge or transition your child’s services. In many cases, children may be re-referred for services as their needs or circumstances change. If your child has been discharged from a particular service due to attendance or cancellation policies, they will be placed on the regular waitlist for that service if a re-referral is made.
You have a big impact on your child’s development. We value family centered care and equity of service; we also believe that by working together and consistent attendance for all appointments is vital to the success of any service we provide to you and your child. Here is what to expect:
