COVID-19 Response

General Rules

1. Maximum capacity of the clinic is 60 percent, only 4-5 sessions are allowed simultaneously, therapists guide children to observe social distancing when necessary.
2. All staff and individuals entering the clinic are required to wear a mask or face covering, with the exception of children who are unable to remain masked. Adult and child size masks are made available at the clinic. 
3. All individuals who enter the clinic must complete a health screening/entry questionnaire and a temperature check before entering. A 'Yes' answer to any of the questions or detection of a fever of ≥ 100.4◦ F will result in the appointment being rescheduled.
4. Our clinicians follow CDC recommendations for sanitization and hand-washing, which includes cleaning hands and requiring children to clean hands before and after each session.

Waiting Room Protocol

1. The waiting room is open.
2. We understand that city and county guidelines are shifting, but as a pediatric therapy clinic, we operate as a healthcare facility, and all individuals in the waiting room are required to remain masked at all times. 

Illness Cancellation Policy

1. Kidspace will not bill for any appointments cancelled due to symptoms of illness or COVID-19 exposure via family, community, or in-person school campus. 
2. As a courtesy, please notify your therapist 24 hours prior to your appointment time if you observe symptoms of illness in your child or if you are notified of a COVID-19 exposure.
3. In the case of sudden onset of symptoms or sudden notification of an exposure, please try to notify your therapist by 9am on the day of your appointment or at least 2 hours prior to your appointment time.
4. Kidspace therapists are happy to accommodate rescheduling session(s) or moving session(s) to telehealth until it is safe for your child to return to in-clinic services. 
5. Should you, your child, or anyone in your household test positive for COVID-19, please reach out to your therapist to arrange rescheduling/telehealth and report the date and time of your child's last appointment so that Kidspace may complete mandatory contact tracing protocols. 
6. Following a positive case of COVID-19, your household must complete the mandatory 10-day quarantine period and provide proof of negative test results within 72 hours of your first appointment back in the clinic.
