Sick Policy
When your child is sick, his/her performance in therapy is not optimal. We have established the following illness policy to help you know when to attend or when to cancel.
If your child is sick prior to their therapy visit it is up to the guardians to determine if there child’s participation and behaviour will be affected by the illness. We recommend the child is symptom-free for 24 hours, prior to the appointment, without the use of medications including Tylenol or Advil. The child should stay home if they are showing any one of the following within the last 24 hours:
fever of 99* Fahrenheit /37* Celsius
diarrhea
vomiting (twice or more in 24 hours)
body rash with fever
sore throat with fever and swollen glands
severe coughing
any parasitic infestation (Lice, Scabies, etc.)
eye discharge like Pink Eye
upper respiratory illness such as bronchitis or influenza
chicken pox (until blisters have dried and formed scabs)
bacterial infection (Impetigo, Strep Throat, etc.)
viral infections causing any of the above
In the event your child is showing any of the above symptoms we ask that you contact the clinic as soon as possible and either reschedule your appointment or move it to a virtual session.
If you are unsure regarding your child’s status, please contact your therapist and they will use their discretion in deciding whether therapy should occur as scheduled. In the event you arrive for an appointment and it appears that your child is experiencing any of the above listed symptoms, your therapist may cut your appointment short or cancel the session. If the session is cancelled the therapist will work with you to reschedule for a later date
