Understanding Wait Times

One of the most common questions we receive at Kids at Play Therapy Services is, "How long will it take to see a clinician?" We know how important it is for families to start their therapeutic journey as soon as possible, and we're here to provide as much clarity and support around wait times as we can.

Our Commitment to You:

While the exact wait time can vary depending on several factors, including the specific services needed and the current demand, here's what we promise:

  • Transparency: We strive to be as transparent as possible about wait times. Upon joining our waitlist, we'll give you an estimated timeframe based on the most current information we have.
  • Updates: We'll keep you informed with regular updates about your position on the waitlist and any changes to your expected wait time.
  • Support: Our team is always available to answer your questions and provide support while you wait. We understand the importance of beginning therapy and are here to assist in any way we can.

Factors Affecting Wait Times:

Several factors influence how quickly we can connect your young person with a clinician:

  • Service Demand: The number of young people needing the same services can impact wait times.
  • Specialisation: Certain specialisations or therapeutic approaches may have longer waitlists due to high demand.
  • Availability: Your availability for appointments can also affect how quickly we can match you with a clinician.

Do You Do School or Home Visits?

At Kids at Play Therapy Services, we're committed to providing flexible and accessible therapy options to meet the diverse needs of the families we serve:

  • School Visits: We can arrange to work with your child's school to provide therapy sessions during or after school hours, subject to the school's cooperation and policies.
  • Home Visits: For families who require at-home therapy sessions, we offer home visits as part of our services. Availability may vary based on your location and the specific needs of your child.

Our goal is to make therapy accessible, convenient, and tailored to your child's needs. Whether at home, in school, or at our center, we're here to support your child's growth and development in the most supportive environment possible.

What Ages Do You Serve?

Our services are tailored to meet the needs of children and young people from 0-25 years, offering a supportive and engaging environment for growth and development at every stage of childhood and adolescence. Clients who are referred to the services after their 18th birthday are assessed on an individualised basis.

How Do We Get Started?

Starting therapy with us is simple:

  1. Contact Us: Reach out via phone or email to express your interest or ask any preliminary questions.
  2. Initial Intake Assessment: We'll schedule an initial assessment to understand your child's needs and recommend the best therapist to work with.
  3. Individualised Plan: Our team will develop a individualised therapy plan tailored to your child's unique requirements.

How Much Do Your Services Cost?

We strive to make our services accessible to as many families as possible. Costs can vary based on the type of therapy and frequency of sessions. We offer detailed pricing information during the initial intake and are committed to transparency about all potential costs.

What is Your Cancellation Policy?

We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, we kindly ask for 48 hours notice (less than this will result in the cancellation policy applying). This allows us to offer the slot to another family on our waitlist.

How Do You Measure Progress?

Our approach to measuring progress is individualised and goal-oriented. We use a combination of standardised assessments, informal observations, and collaborative goal-setting with families to track and communicate your child's development over time.

Can Parents or Guardians Be Involved in Therapy Sessions?

Absolutely! We believe that family involvement is crucial to the success of therapy. We encourage parents and guardians to be active participants in sessions when appropriate and offer guidance on how to support your child's development at home.
