Attendance Policy

Attendance

You have a big impact on your child’s development. We value family centered care and equity of service; we also believe that by working together and consistent attendance for all appointments is vital to the success of any service we provide to you and your child. Here is what to expect:

Your Child’s Health and Safety

Safety and wellness is a team effort! You are an important member of the team! Think Safe…Communicate – Ask if you don’t understand. Make sure CT CTC staff involved in your child’s services have important health information. If you don’t understand some part of your child’s condition or treatment, ask your therapist to explain why things are being done the way they are. If you still have concerns, don’t hesitate to ask again.

Know your CT CTC Team

Help Keep us All Safe

Staff and other families/caregivers or children at the CT CTC may be sensitive to perfumes and strong scents. Please refrain from wearing these when you attend your child’s appointments.

Allergies

Directly inform each staff member that you are involved with about any allergies that your child may have. If your child requires an EpiPen, please ensure that you have one with you when attending appointments. Please avoid bringing any food items containing nuts or latex to the CT CTC.

Medication Safety

Ensure CT CTC staff are aware of the name and any possible side effects of any medication your child is taking. If medication is to be given to teachers or daycare staff, please ensure medication is in its original, child -proof, labeled containers. Please follow any medication policy the CT CTC may have.

Know your child's Equipment

Help prevent falls

Stop and clean your hands

Help prevent the spread of infections

If you or your child is sick, please contact us to cancel your child’s appointment. Please let us know if your child has contracted a communicable illness (e.g., chicken pox, influenza, strep throat). Getting the flu shot is a good way of reducing the risk of illness due to the influenza virus. Ask your doctor.

When to keep your child or yourself home

Your child does not receive any benefit from their therapeutic program when they do not feel well. There is also the risk of spreading germs/infections to staff members and other children. Some children that come to the CT CTC are medically fragile and when exposed to common ailments may become very ill and require hospitalization. Please use caution when deciding when to bring your child in for appointments and when to keep them at home. The same applies for siblings and yourself.

If you are not sure when to bring your child in for therapy or when to keep them home, here is a list of things to check:

Back Health & Safe Lifting

Reduce the risk of back injury when caring for children with these tips:

1 - Alignment

Correct posture allows our body to act as efficiently as possible.

2 - Base Of Support

A good base of support allows you to be more stable. Place feet shoulder width apart with feet in the direction of the lift.

3 - Centre Of Gravity

Try to match your centre of gravity with the centre of gravity of what you are carrying.

Occasionally, we also collect personal health information about children and families/caregivers from other sources if we have obtained consent to do so, or if the law permits.

Your personal health information will be contained within an electronic record. Please note that we limit collection of information to what is required to provide care to you and your child.

Discharge Policy

Discharging

It aims to fully involve clients, families/caregivers in the process to ensure that they receive adequate information.
