The Outpatient Program offers 45-60 minute appointments once per week and is available for caregivers and children who are unable to attend the more intensive treatment programs.
Patients in this program are treated by a psychologist or behavior analyst, a speech-language pathologist, or both, depending on the child’s needs. When both a psychologist and speech-language pathologist are involved in the child’s care, they work jointly with parents and children as a team in every appointment.
In the Outpatient Program, providers first work directly with children to make progress toward their treatment goals. Providers then teach parents how to conduct the treatment and ask parents to work with the child at home during the week. The next appointment will typically start with a discussion of what went well and what maybe did not go so well to determine the next best steps.
Children make great progress in the Outpatient Program, although the pace is slower than the more intensive programs because most of the treatment is done at home, and families have very busy lives. If parents or providers feel that more intensive treatment or a larger interdisciplinary team might be needed to get a burst of progress or a patient over the finish line, children may always transfer temporarily to the Day Treatment Program before returning to their original providers in the Outpatient Program.
