Meeting Children’s Unique Needs Through Collaborative Care
As a parent of a child with special needs, you want to ensure your child is receiving the best care and support possible to help them thrive and make the most of each day. Every child is different and has their own unique strengths, challenges, and needs. They often benefit from engaging in specialized forms of care that take their personal needs into account. One such type of specialized service is collaborative care, which integrates all of your child’s medical and psychological needs into one program providing comprehensive treatment. In addition, collaborative care often incorporates the entire family as well for a more holistic approach to care.
PediaPlex provides collaborative care for children in Southlake combining services such as:
- ABA therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Play therapy
- Psychological services
- A wide range of testing and evaluations
Therapists, staff, and medical providers all work together with the family to create a personalized plan for each child focusing on collaborative care. This ensures that each child’s unique needs are met in a way that works best for them.
Multiple Experts Working For You
PediaPlex recognizes the complexities of many children with special needs and has created a multi-specialty team all under one roof. Parents don’t have to worry about traveling from one facility to another or trying to find a provider that specializes in autism care or speech therapy all on their own. At PediaPlex, collaborative care services are the norm. Parents have access to a team of experts who can help to streamline service and focus on providing their child with the care they need to live their life to the fullest.
All of this is possible because PediaPlex is the first clinical center in the Southlake area that offers multi-specialty care for children affected by autism, speech disorders, developmental disorders, and other conditions. Parents can find pediatric ADHD collaborative care all in one convenient location, for instance, whereas otherwise they may have had to try to coordinate with several different providers and facilities. PediaPlex makes it easier to access care.
Better Integration, Better Results
Clear communication between medical professionals and family is one of the building blocks of successful collaborative care at PediaPlex. The care team is constantly collaborating and working together to best meet the needs of each child, and this is done with input and engagement from the whole family. Plus, PediaPlex also gathers insight from educators, coaches, and others who interact with your child on a regular basis.
Creating this personal relationship helps families to feel more comfortable and confident that their child’s best interests are a priority. Collaborative care for children allows Southlake families to be more engaged and take an active role in the therapies their child receives. These skills can then be practiced and reinforced at home too.
A More Personal Touch
Another benefit of PediaPlex’s collaborative care services for children in Southlake is that it allows therapists and providers to get to know each child on a more personal and intimate level so that they can tailor services to meet their needs. Regular communication between providers and families means better customization of care. It is not “one size fits all” because what works for one child may not work as well for the next. Plus, parents don’t have to worry about trying to remember what was said or done while their child was receiving therapy at one place or another because treatment takes place in one convenient location and team members communicate with each other.
Children are not limited to just one type of therapy either. For instance, a child with autism may benefit from ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, and they can engage in personalized care that meets all of these needs through collaborative care services. Therapists work together with the family to decide what may be most effective for each child.
