Setting Your Child Up For Success In Therapy

Your child will do their best in therapy if they are ready to participate and learn. We have put together a few suggestions for setting your child up for success in therapy.

General:

• Make sure your child goes to bed on time.
• Drink water. Avoid sugary drinks right before therapy. Your child is welcome to bring a water bottle back to therapy. Please keep sodas and juices in the car or at home.
• If your child takes naps, please avoid scheduling appointments during their nap times, when possible.

For Morning Appointments:

• Wake up early enough to eat breakfast without rushing.
• Start the day with a filling breakfast.
  • Some children may not realize they are hungry until they sit down to eat.
  • They need food to have energy to work hard in therapy.
  • Protein at breakfast is a great way to ensure your child has enough energy to last for the entire length of therapy, especially if they have therapies back to back.

For Afternoon Appointments:

• Pack a snack for them to eat after school on their way to therapy along with water.

Infants:

• We have various toys that we disinfect after each patient. However, you are welcome to bring your child's own toys and blankets with you, especially if your child has a favorite.

We hope that these tips are helpful. Our ultimate goal is to help your child "Be the best they can BEE with therapy!" and we love celebrating all of their accomplishments.
