What Does a Telehealth Physical Therapy Visit Look Like?
-
The first visit will involve PT getting background information from parent/caregiver
regarding your child and his/ her needs
-
The PT will watch your child perform a variety of tasks. She will ask you to position your child in different ways to allow her to see what your child is able to do.
-
Together we will discuss areas of focus for subsequent visits and set goals
-
The PT will guide you through the process and teach you strategies that you can easily implement.
-
We will determine frequency of visits based on your comfort level and on the needs of your child.
-
At the beginning of each session we will review what you have been working on
-
We will discuss if you have been able to easily implement the strategies and how your child is responding
-
PT will watch as you work on the target skill with your child
-
Based on your feedback and PT's observations, recommendations will be made on how to tweak your handling to enhance outcomes for your child
-
Once the target skill has been mastered, we will move on to working on a new skill, building upon previously learned strategies.
-
Each session is a true collaboration between the parent/caregiver and the therapist.
