The best of both worlds...
Services at KPC are often a combination of ONLINE and CLINIC appointments to best meet the needs and schedules of families. All testing appointments are in CLINIC (with exception of interview and feedback appointments). For all other services, online services have become an excellent tool, considering:
There is no difference in the effectiveness of in-person or online treatment in general according to the best research available
We find children and youth participate in online appointments much more than parents expect (even when they don't like online school)
Online appointments can:
reduce the stress of getting kids or families to appointments
make specialists more accessible to rural families
allow therapists to help with strategies in the child's home in real time
reduce fuel costs and environmental impact
decrease the time a child or parent has to sit in our waiting room
allow other family members to participate as needed (e.g. parents that are deployed, live in different homes, or are away for work)
