Therapy Process
Step 1: Consultation
A member of The Airplane Spoon’s team will talk with you about your interest in therapy services, your child’s strengths and areas of needed support, and The Airplane Spoon’s model.
Step 4: Start Sessions: Center
You, your child, and your therapist will all actively participate in the sessions. You will work with your provider to gain confidence and expertise in how to work on your child’s skills outside of session times.
Step 2: Evaluation
Your Airplane Spoon therapist will then come to your home for a 90-minute evaluation. You will discuss your family’s routines and areas for support and the therapist will evaluate your child’s skills in the area of needed support.
Step 5: Sessions at Home
Home sessions are a time to work on carrying over skills learned at the center into your everyday routines and contexts. Families receive home sessions one week of each month.
Step 3: Report Review
Within a week of the evaluation, you will receive an email with the written report from the evaluation and your therapist will schedule a 30 minute virtual meeting to review the results and answer any questions.
Step 6: All done
Our goal is for you to not need us anymore! Once you gain confidence in your ability to support your child in their areas of needed support, we will talk about phasing out services.
