Frequently Asked Questions

  • Typically, children are referred to our clinic by a child development professional that is trained to identify children who would benefit from services. This includes pediatricians, teachers, daycare providers, and other medical and mental health care providers who work with children. In many cases, caregivers have their own concerns about a child’s development and self-refer. We are happy to discuss your concerns with you over the phone and help direct you to the appropriate services, or schedule an evaluation if you are unsure.

  • Your child’s therapist will recommend a treatment session length based upon your child’s particular needs. Speech therapy sessions are typically 30 minutes, occupational and physical therapy sessions are typically 60 minutes, and music therapy sessions are 60 minutes.

  • Every child’s treatment plan is different. While your therapist is unlikely to be able to tell you exactly how many sessions your child will need, we strive to keep you aware of your child’s goals, progress, and prognosis throughout the treatment process.

  • Once your evaluation is complete and a treatment plan is established, our administrative staff will work with you to find a recurring therapy time that works with your schedule. We typically suggest that ongoing treatment be conducted with the same therapist to encourage rapport and maximize progress in therapy; however, there are some instances in which scheduling makes this difficult, or it is in the child’s best interest to work with different therapists. Both our administrative and clinical staff will discuss this with you as your treatment plan is developed.

  • Our therapists have advanced degrees in their field and are all fully licensed to practice in the state of Mississippi. As a practice, we believe in evidence-based treatment methods, and we provide our clinical staff the necessary resources to obtain ongoing continuing education to stay current in their fields. Many of our therapists have obtained specialized training in specific treatment approaches or areas of specialty. For individual staff biographies, please visit our About Us page.

  • Your child’s evaluation includes discussion of concerns, developmental history, observations, and assessments when appropriate. We will review recommendations, answer questions, and discuss next steps for therapy services.

  • To encourage participation, independence, and the best therapeutic environment, parents are encouraged to allow children to attend sessions independently. Parents are welcome to remain in the waiting room, stay nearby in the parking lot, or leave and return at the end of the session. Parents do need to be present for evaluations and re-evaluations.
