Should you decide to attend ATS for therapeutic intervention, you will be matched with a therapist that is most suited to your family needs. We will offer a weekly appointment time (or time slot), which is convenient for you. The assessment report will contain a recommended timeframe of weekly therapy sessions, which are dependent on individual needs and can vary from a trial of 15-20 weeks to therapeutic intervention of longer durations
After the recommended intervention period is completed your child therapist will review with you progress made and discuss whether further intervention is warranted or discharge, depending on attainment of therapeutic goals and client wishes. Following discharge you will receive a discharge report.
Not necessarily, but it is possible. This will greatly depend on several factors including availability, the day you attend therapy, etc. Because of specific training, education, etc. we may also suggest a specific therapist. Unless is otherwise recommended, a specific therapist will carry out the entire intervention program. You should also keep in mind that all of our therapists participate in continuing education opportunities locally and are also educated abroad.
Having an official diagnosis is not a requirement for accessing intervention at our services. However, completed assessment can provide very useful information to help guide intervention. We accept assessments that have been carried out in different clinics and by your local health services. Sending copies of these reports to us ahead of intervention would be most helpful.
In order to ensure best outcomes we encourage attendance to every appointment. If however a cancellation cannot be avoided we do have to apply a cancellation charge of €50. If the appointment can be re-scheduled within the same week there is no charge.
