Parents are expected to monitor their children for symptoms of illness, especially during times like cold and flu seasons. We follow the Polk County School Board’s illness policy, which means that your child needs to be free from all of the following symptoms (without medication) for at least 24 hours prior to an appointment:

 

-Fever

-Stuffy/runny nose

-Diarrhea

-Persistent coughing

-Persistent sneezing

-Vomiting

 

Clients that are exhibiting symptoms that are contagious to others will not be permitted to attend therapy appointments. If a child has a fever at or above 100.4 degrees, or if vomiting or diarrhea are present, the parents/caregiver will be called to pick up him or her from the clinic.
