01 Dec 😬Are you shopping around for a Paediatric Physiotherapist to see your child with Special Needs 🤔Wondering how to determine who is the best Paediatric Physiotherapy service for your child with Special Needs
Being a parent isn’t an easy journey, because unlike preparing for a career, there is no course on how to become a parent. Even if you have been a parent before, there is no guarantee that the second time round is any easier, because every child is different. Being a parent of a child with Special Needs is an even more challenging journey, particularly with the uncertainty and unpredictability of their condition. On top of all that uncertainty, there is the added challenge of learning about the healthcare system, medical appointments, Early Intervention programs and Government funding systems.🥺
At the end of the day, every child with special needs require Early Intervention to help them achieve their best potential, and parents are often at lost about how to find the right therapists for their child’s needs. Without a roadmap given to them about the Early Intervention journey they have to embark on for the years to come, parents often are told to look for a therapist in their local area, and they simply ring to enquire about appointments availability and costs of therapy. Unfortunately, these two criteria are not the most effective or useful measures of the right therapist for your child’s needs.
Here at My Favourite Physio,🤓 we often hear from parents who complained about having wasted months and even years where their child had not had any progress with the therapist they have been seeing. So here are 3 questions every parent should ask to ensure that they are picking the right fit therapist for their child with special needs.
1. Have you treated children like my child before?
2. What was the outcomes you helped the child achieve?
3. How do you assess and measure success for each child?
