Therapy Solutions For Kids COVID Policy and Updates

We request that all adults and children (under 2 are exempt) wear masks. For children over 2 that are not able to tolerate please alert their therapist.  Kids over 2 can also wear a face covering, as long as they can remove it themselves. Children under 2 years old should never wear a face covering. Although the mask mandate in Oregon has been lifted we are considered a healthcare facility and we feel that masking is still the best practice. 

We ask that only one adult participate in therapy at a time and will not be allowing siblings at this time. (some exceptions to the rule can be made with approval) When you arrive in the parking lot, please call and let us know you are here.  Please stay in your car until your appointment time to avoid encountering others.  We will alert you of which door to enter. 503-224-1998.   If you are a new client, you may enter without calling first so we can gather information prior to the appointment.
The waiting room will be closed until further notice.  Please go into the treatment room with your child or wait in your car.  There is a Starbuck close by and a river trail along the Willamette River. 

1. We have 4 access doors to the clinic and plan to use them all as needed.  They will be numbered 1-4 with the reception door being #1, # 2, and 3 will be visible from our main door but # 4 is located down the hall past the men’s restrooms.  
2. Your therapist will open the door for you and you will be directed to a sink to wash your hands.
3. Depending on your therapist’s schedule, sessions may end early to allow for cleaning between clients.  We will be using a combination of cleaning procedures including UV lights, wiping down surfaces, masks, and face shields.  

• Please follow the guidelines listed by the CDC.  Start at the top and answer questions this will determine the length of isolation vs. quarantine.
• If you test negative, we can resume therapy as scheduled.  (w/ no symptoms) 
• We also would be happy to see if telehealth could be an option based on your insurance and if your therapist would recommend this option. 

Thank you all for your sustained support and for allowing us to continue to serve you and your children.
