COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

---

Speech Inspirations aims to prioritize the safety of clients and staff members. We will follow a temporary COVID-19 precaution policy. We are asking that all family members review and abide by these regulations.

1. If you will be gathering with people that are outside of your typical household, inform the therapist. If  you will be gathering with groups of people (6 or more who are from other households), please transition to teletherapy for 5 to 7 days following the gathering. Monitor the household for symptoms and report any that appear.​
2. Each day of a scheduled session, please take the temperature of everyone in the household. Please report to the therapist if anyone has a temperature over 99 degrees. ​
3. We are asking anyone that will be within 6 feet of the therapist to wear a mask. If the client is below the age of 4, a mask will not be expected.

Continue to inform the therapist if anyone in the household has symptoms of an illness (e.g. fever, cough, runny nose, sneezing, etc.).
Please note that Speech Inspirations uses teletherapy when it is best practice for the safety of families and our therapists. The use of teletherapy will assist in the prevention of regression as we keep each other safe. Teletherapy sessions are voluntary and each family and therapist can negotiate whether they will have teletherapy sessions or schedule make-up days. Therapists may not have additional space for in-person make-up sessions, so these are not guaranteed.

TELETHERAPY

Please note that teletherapy is effective, even for children under the age of 4. A small amount of scheduled teletherapy visits may help improve carryover of skills and improve parents' understanding and home strategies to be used in absence of their therapist! 
Thank you so much for helping us keep each other safe.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us!
