Starting Physical, Occupational or Speech Therapy
Considering Therapy?
If you are considering therapy or know that therapy is for you, Niagara Therapy, LLC welcomes you to reach out to us via phone 814-464-0627814-464-0627 or email at Info@NiagaraTherapyLLC.com. When you call or email, we are happy to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process.
When you are ready to make your first appointment, we will schedule an evaluation with your therapist. This will be a one on one meeting with a licensed therapist for approximately one hour. When you schedule the evaluation, we will gather some preliminary information about you such as: your concerns, insurance and contact information. We are happy to assist in gathering any additional paperwork that may be required. We would also encourage you to complete the documents available here before your appointment to expedite the process for you.
What to expect at your first appointment…
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to finalize paperwork and review any questions. You will then meet with your therapist to review all of your concerns, medical and functional history, and YOUR GOALS. Your goals for therapy are your personal objectives that you value and want to accomplish with the assistance of the therapist. Then the therapist will evaluate your status in the areas of concern.
- In physical therapy this could be assessing balance, strength, coordination, or endurance.
- In occupational therapy, this could be assessing self-care, coordination, visual skills, handwriting, cognition, or sensory integration.
- In speech therapy, this could be assessing social pragmatics, verbal and non-verbal communication, swallowing, and understanding of information.
When the assessments are complete, you and your therapist will review the results and formulate a personal treatment plan. After this assessment appointment, a full plan of care will be written and provided to the referring physician that will include your goals for therapy as well as the test results.
