Parents contact AKL to inquire about Occupational and Physical therapy. AKL conducts a 5-minute questionnaire to gather patient information. An email is sent to the parents outlining the next steps. This email includes requests for specific documents required for the initial appointment with AKL. Upon confirmation of payment details, AKL sends another email to schedule and confirm the evaluation appointment.
The parent will be notified about the evaluation appointment through text, email, or a call. The notification will include details about necessary documents, the appointment's time and date, and the name of the licensed therapist conducting the evaluation. The therapist may contact the parent directly to confirm the appointment and coordinate the session. Following the evaluation, the parent will receive an email outlining the next steps.
The parent receives a notification when the plan of care is signed by the referring physician. We coordinate with the parent to determine their availability and the number of sessions to be provided weekly. After therapy begins, the success of the sessions relies on consistency and mutual feedback regarding the patient's development.
