Before you ask.
Can I discuss these resources with my child’s therapist?
Yes. Bring resources you are considering to your clinician and ask how they fit the care plan.
Will a new provider coordinate with our current one?
Ask each provider how they coordinate care and what consent is needed to share information. A match does not guarantee coordination.
How do I find activities for a specific goal?
Explore resources for the relevant need in the directory, then review the activity with your child’s clinician.
