  • How do I know if my child or I need therapy?
    If you notice delays or changes in speech, motor skills, social interactions, or emotional regulation, an assessment with one of our therapists can provide clarity. We focus on early intervention and functional progress to help individuals gain independence and confidence in their daily lives.

  • How long does therapy take, and how often are sessions?
    The length and frequency of therapy depend on the individual's needs and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may require a different schedule. After an assessment, we will recommend a plan that best supports progress.
  • Do I require a referral?
    Allied Therapy does not require a medical referral, however confirm with your health insurance provider. Some may require one to cover treatment expenses.

With your consent, we will share relevant updates and treatment plans with your healthcare providers to ensure they are aware of your therapy outcomes and can contribute to your overall health management. This teamwork ensures cohesive and well-rounded care tailored to your unique needs.
