Our Treatment Model
The physical, occupational and speech therapists at CHKD use Episodes of Care to develop an individualized treatment plan for your child. Learn more about Episodes of Care here.
Episodes of Care consists of four treatment paths:
- Intensive therapy: Frequent visits for a limited length of time (three or more sessions per week)
- Weekly therapy: Regular visits for a limited length of time (one or two sessions per week)
- Periodic therapy: Regular visits with less frequency (one or two sessions per month)
- Consultative therapy: Visits scheduled as needed (one session every two to six months)
A Rehabilitation Partnership
You and your therapist partner together to select the best pathway for your child. You, as part of the rehabilitation team, help therapists to consider several factors, including:
- Goals for your child’s therapy
- Amount of therapy needed
- Resources (e.g., availability, transportation, funding, and family support)
There are two ways to complete the therapy program:
- Discharge from therapy occurs when your child reaches his or her expected goals
- Discontinuation of therapy may occur when a family or therapist decides to stop therapy
Reasons may include:
- Changes with the child’s medical condition
- Implementation of home program
- Child’s limited ability to progress
- Missed appointments or need for increased family participation during treatment or at home
