    Pediatric Physical Therapy Clinical Guidelines

    Information source: http://ovha.vermont.gov/for-providers/therapy-guidelines.pdf

    Vermont Medicaid and Insurance Companies supports therapists in empowering children and families reach goals of independence and self-reliance. They do not support practices and practice patterns which result in chronic dependence on professional practitioners. It is vital that family and/or caretakers participate in every treatment session allowing for follow through with their program. Family and care takers can be taught therapy concepts and techniques and become competent and confident in following through with the techniques into their everyday routines. As caregiver competence and confidence increases, the need for high-intensity professional level services will gradually decrease over time to a level that provides for programmatic upgrades and ongoing family education. A decrease in services demonstrates that the program has successfully helped the child and family reach a greater level of independence and self-reliance. The Kids RehabGYM offers a variety of memberships to allow families to become more independent with their childs care and use their insurance plans to update therapy programs and/or equipment needs as they arise. Families always have the right to discuss their case with Sue Mason (Physical Therapist at OVAH) who can be reached at 802-878-5903 or susan.mason@ahs.state.vt.us Childs Name_________________________________________ Parents Signature_____________________________________ Date:_______________ Therapist Signature_____________________________________ Date:________________
