The school didn't qualify my child for services can we still get private therapy? Yes, Educational and Medical deficits may vary such that the child' may not qualify for school-based services due to academic impact but can be justified for medical-based services based on functional impact on quality of life and the ability to improve client outcomes.

Providers are able to collaborate in medical meetings regularly and work with the families schedules to provide seamless care for all involved services.
Does Rosario Therapy Center have a waiting list? No, RTC does not have a waiting list. Due to the nature of developmental delays, it is imperative that clients are serviced in a timely manner. If RTC is unable to provide services, a referral to another provider in the community will be advised.
How long will my child need therapy? The amount of time a person needs for speech, feeding, myofunctional and behavioral therapy depends on a few factors, including their age, type/severity of speech disorder, frequency of therapy, underlying medical conditions, and treatment of underlying medical conditions. Some disorders begin in childhood and improve with age, while others may continue into adulthood and require long-term therapy and treatment.
How big of a time commitment is therapy? Therapy hours are dependent on a client’s needs, clinician/family availability, and approval from insurance. A majority of clients receive therapy once per week for 45-60 minutes. Individual therapy sessions can range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes whcih includes treatment, transitional time for parent education and note writing. Evaluations range anywhere from 60 minutes to 120 minutes depending on the type of evaluation, and most bilingual (English/Spanish) evaluations are 180 minutes.
Can I sit in on/observe my child’s session? Yes! Parents are encouraged to be an active participant in their child’s care, as carryover has the best results when the child is experiencing consistent expectations across all settings. The client’s treatment plan is a collaborative effort to address their functional daily living needs between caregivers, service providers, and clients without family involvement positive outcomes are more difficult to achieve.
