Appointments
with Children's Integrated Therapy Services
Waiting for your first appointment
One of our admin team will contact you by letter or telephone to offer an appointment. This will be a remote appointment either by telephone or video call in the majority of cases. The appointment will last about 45 minutes so please make sure you are prepared and comfortable. Here are some video call tips:
- make sure you have a quiet space where you can talk openly and freely
- remove any distractions that might interrupt the session
- find seating that works for you and your child
- make sure your computer camera and sound work and check you have the meeting link
- help your child choose a toy or similar to share with the therapist
- if the therapist has sent you any resources or checklists make sure you have looked through these before the session
We find some children are more ready to engage in video appointments than others. We hope they will be able to join in for part of the appointment, but if they don’t want to that’s OK too. We might ask you to send in some videos of them taking part in some specific tasks after the appointment.
If there is a reason a remote assessment is not possible please contact our Therapy One Point on 0300 123 2650 as soon as possible and we will look at an alternative method of completing this appointment.
