FAQs
Q. What types of services do you offer?
We offer a variety of services tailored to meet your individual needs. Generally speaking, our services can be broken into 3 categories: services for children, services for parents/caregivers, & services for preschools. In short, some of those services are:
DIRFloortime Therapy-- sessions offered in your home, at your child's preschool, in their classroom, and/or in the community
Preschool Consulting & Support-- including professional development trainings & workshops
Play Groups & Social Skills Groups-- for children ages 6 months to 5th grade
Support Groups-- free of charge for adults, offered monthly
Special Education Support/Advocacy-- assistance with navigating the special education process & advocating for strengths-based IEPs
Q. Do you take insurance for DIRFloortime therapy?
Unfortunately, DIRFloortime is not a service that is covered under health insurance in Virginia (hopefully one day it will be!), therefore our services are all self-pay. We understand how expensive things can get, and we are doing everything we can to keep our costs affordable to ensure that your child is able to benefit from services. While we cannot bill insurance, we do offer a discounted rate for children who qualify for Medicaid.
Q. What payment methods do you accept for services? Can we make payment arrangements?
We accept cash, checks, and debit/credit card payments through Venmo. Payment is due at the time of service. If your child receives DIRFloortime therapy, we do offer the option of being billed weekly or bi-weekly for sessions. These options will be discussed prior to the start of services. All families will sign a financial agreement prior to the start of services as well.
Q. Do you have a cancellation policy for DIRFloortime sessions?
Yes, we do have a cancellation policy for DIRFloortime sessions. If you cancel with at least 24 hours notice, you will not be billed for services. We understand that things happen & sometimes you need to cancel the day of or at the last minute. If you have to cancel because you or your child is sick, then we will not charge a cancellation fee. For any other reason that requires you to cancel day of, we charge a $35 cancellation fee-- however, this fee will be credited back to you if you reschedule the session and make it up within seven days.
