Other FAQ's
What are the contraindications for DMI and Intensive Therapy Programs?
While Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and Intensive Therapy Programs can be highly beneficial for a majority of children, there are certain precautions to consider.
These may include:
1. Recent surgeries or medical procedures: Children who have undergone recent surgeries or medical procedures may need time to recover before participating in DMI or Intensive Therapy Programs.
2. Acute injuries: Children with acute injuries, such as fractures or sprains, may need to wait until they have fully healed before participating in DMI or Intensive Therapy Programs.
3. Uncontrolled seizures: Children with uncontrolled seizures may need specialized supervision and monitoring during therapy sessions to ensure their safety.
4. Severe behavioral issues: Children with severe behavioral issues that may pose a risk to themselves or others during therapy sessions may require alternative approaches or additional support. If you are interested in a Tiny Bee Physical Therapy Intensive but have concerns with appropriateness for the program, please contact Tiny Bee for a free 15 minute consultation to determine if an intensive is right for you.
Is there a weight limit for DMI?
DMI is a physically demanding technique for the patients and the therapists. To ensure the safety of our practitioners and maintain the quality of care for your child, children must weigh under 45 pounds. If a child exceeds this weight limit, we will conduct a screening via a free consultation before booking the intensive to assess their eligibility. We make every effort to serve children over 45 pounds, but Tiny Bee reserves the right to not provide services on a case-by-case basis in order to ensure the safety of both the patient and the therapist.
What if I have to cancel my intensive?
We aim to accommodate as many children as possible, understanding the scarcity of programs offering DMI and Intensive Therapy services. Consequently, we request our families; commitment to attendance and active participation. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that unforeseen circumstances such as illness or unexpected events may arise. Hence, our cancellation policy is outlined below:
1) 181+ Days: Full deposit refund.
2) 61-180 Days: $250 cancellation fee, with the remainder of the deposit applied towards a future intensive program booking within 12 months.
3) 31-60 Days: $500 cancellation fee, with the remainder of the deposit applied towards a future intensive program booking within 12 months.
4) Less than 30 Days: Deposit forfeiture, but any prepaid session balance credited towards a future intensive program booking within 12 months. If another intensive is not scheduled within the next 12 months, you forfeit any remaining deposit balance.
