Multi-Disciplinary Therapy services for Children

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year. We hope that you are all managing to stay safe and well during these ongoing difficult times. We have been closely monitoring the current situation nationwide in relation to COVID-19 and given the current high level of community infection as well as the pressure on the health services as a whole, we have made the difficult decision to stop providing intervention sessions for the coming weeks and only provide assessments.

This allows us to reduce the number of close contacts for each therapist as well as to stagger the times that staff will be in the clinic. As per advice provided by NPHET, a reduction in close contacts will help reduce the risk of infection for all clients and staff and their families.

All therapy appointments that have thus far been scheduled for January 2021 will now be cancelled and rescheduled at a later date. Each individual therapist will create a prioritised waitlist for clients they had booked in for intervention and will personally be in contact with you regarding rescheduling of appointments for the soonest possible dates this year once it is deemed safe to do so.

All our therapists will continue to work from home when they are not involved in assessments and will be available to provide telehealth in the form of Zoom Parental Consults/phone calls should you require support/strategies/intervention home programmes during this period of time. You can set this up with your therapist via email should you require it.

The safety of our clients, staff and their families is our top priority and we are hopeful with the commencement of the national vaccination programme that we will be able to resume a full service safely as soon as we can. We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Kind Regards

The Sunflower Clinic
