A current (less than 12 months) OT evaluation is required to participate in group. If you don't have one, we will complete an abbreviated evaluation for an additional $300. You may register for group and then complete the evaluation after registration. 

Requirements:

• You must attend all 8 sessions in the series - no partial enrollment/participation permitted
• You must arrive on time to group - late drop offs are not allowed
• Any missed sessions for travel, sickness, etc will not be refunded
• Your child must be able to be safe with themselves, others and property/environment in a 5:2 child to adult ratio in a dynamic outdoor environment. Your child must be safe given that the adults are always in the vicinty but not always within arm's reach
• If your child needs additional support to be safe, you are welcome to send your child with a 1:1 aide to help them be successful in the group environment!
• If your child uses physical behavior towards self or others when they are dysregulated, our group programming (with the 5:2 ratio) is not a good match at this time. Please contact us about 1:1 therapy!
