How often will my child need therapy?

Your child’s evaluation and custom Plan of Care will determine this. We have several options for recurring weekly appointments or utilizing our flex schedule depending on your child’s needs.

Will I be involved in my child's therapy?

Yes! We are a collaborative clinic and that means working with families for the best outcomes. At Parkwood we believe family engagement and having a successful home program is an essential component of clinical excellence.

How long do therapy sessions last?

Our evaluations are 60 minutes and our speech therapy sessions are 30 minutes.

Does my child need a referral from a physician to start therapy at pediatric therapy services?

Yes, a referral from your child’s pediatrician ensures we get all the information we need to start therapy on the right foot. Feel free to call our intake coordinator 503-894-1539 ext 102 if you have questions about our intake process.

Is my child old enough to start pediatric therapy?

Birth to five is a magical time when a lot of learning happens in the brain! At Parkwood we believe the earlier the better when it comes to getting extra help and meeting developmental milestones.
