Frequent Cancellations
Continuity of care is important for achieving positive outcomes for your child. Frequent cancellations can inhibit your child’s progress, delay the achievement of their therapy goals and reduce the availability of therapy services for other people. Kids Matters OT may withdraw services from clients who frequently cancel or fail to attend appointments, regardless of the amount of notice given.
Please discuss any questions or concerns about this with your therapist or receptionist.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POLICY IS A CONDITION OF TREATMENT FOR KIDS MATTERS OT. BY MAKING APPOINTMENTS, YOU AGREE TO OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
