We’ve been hosting a Google review contest for January, and we’ve loved the feedback.
Here are some of the things our current clients/families have said about our therapists:
-she’s an incredible human being
-professional, thoughtful and caring
-Patient and dedicated
-helps me feel supported and empowere as a parent
-entire staff is fantastic
-Friendly and informative
-Always smiling with a warm disposition
-best OT I’ve ever worked with
-professional, knowledgeable and helpful

And those are just a few… And I may be a little bit biased, but I think all of those compliments could match with each of our therapists. We’ve got a great vibe✌️😉, and I could not be more blessed to have a team of dedicated, professional, compassionate, caring and uplifting people.

I’ll be announcing the winner soon… Can’t wait to see her face :)

And thank you to each of you all who took the time to leave a positive review.
Ps-it’s still not too late to leave one😀

As clinicians at Comm Stat, we are very fortunate to work in a family oriented environment where we can bring our children when necessary. That's a huge employee benefit, but also look at this incredible, organic interaction between this sweet client and Miss Juliana Whaley.

He was given a unique opportunity to interact with a neurotypical peer in a sensory supportive environment. Juliana was able to come along side him in a preferred sensory activity and he is acknowledging her and turn taking with her! It was a truly special socialization moment that could not be recreated in most clinic settings!

Thanks to Mom for sending this video and giving us permission to share!

Chatsworth Elementary is in dire need of sweatpants style pants in youth sizes YS, YM, and YL for girls and boys. If you have young kids that have outgrown some comfy play pants, please reach out and I’ll come get them!

You can donate them or drop them off at the office… If you’re cleaning out your closet, this will be a great place to. Donate . Thank you so much! 💚

We have a few spots left

🦷🪥Families can come and meet with a hygienist, talk about their child's dental health, learn about the recommended timeline of dental checks-ups, learn how to seek dental care: what a typical first dental visit looks like, questions to ask as you select a dentist, how to set up and appointment and encounter with a dentist, strategies for regular dental care at home. If your child is ready, hygienists will use a regular brush and mirror and show the tools they typically use.
***This is not a full dental check-up, nor to replace your child's regular dental check-up schedule. ***
Please use the QR code to sign-up, pay, receive your google form and your spot can be reserved.

We always strive to put the safety of our families first. With us serving multiple school districts, and all of them having different plans, that makes it a little tricky. We will be operating as normal tomorrow. If you feel unsafe to get on the roads, please contact your therapist or call the office first thing in the morning to reschedule or possibly telehealth.

Thank you for understanding.

How many of you out there would want work in a field where instead of raises over time, you would repeatedly have your pay reduced?

Well, thats what Caresource is trying yo do to outpatient pediatric therapy providers starting in February.

If you’re a pediatric SLP, OT or PT or you have a child who receives these services, this DIRECTLY impacts YOU.

This policy change will impact our reimbursement by $9-$12 an hour.

This comes out to be an annual cut from 12k to 16k+ PER Full Time PROVIDER.

If a practice has 10 full time providers, that is around a 150k+ annual reduction in inclmr for a clinic.

Many of our clinics are small businesses.

This is not sustainable.

If you’d like to help me fight agains this change, please comment below and I’ll share an email template to send to your local legislators.

Insurance companies and all of these changes drastically affecting our children with special needs are utterly infuriating!

Thank you Beth Fleming for sharing advocating and giving professionals and parents suggestions on how to advocate!

This is a repost from Beth Fleming….

Trying to repost from my friend but it wasn’t working.., this was the Facebook message…

Caresource announced about a week ago that they will be applying a Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction for outpatient therapy services beginning February 1, 2026.
(read more here: https://www.caresource.com/documents/medicaid-ga-policy-reimburse-py-1428-20260201)

What does this mean?

MPPR stands for Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction. It’s a policy originally created for Medicare, which is for adults, to reduce payment when multiple services are provided by the same provider on the same day. The idea is that some costs are “duplicated” when a provider does multiple procedures at once, so the insurance pays less for the additional services.

Why this matters for children in the CIS program:

Georgia’s Children’s Intervention Services (CIS) program is very different from Medicare. Therapy must be provided one-on-one by fully licensed therapists, and assistants or group sessions aren’t allowed.

Applying MPPR here means if your child receives more than one therapy session in a day, the provider could be reimbursed less for the second (and any additional) session.

This could lead providers to reduce the number of sessions offered in a day, limit which children they serve, or in some cases, stop participating in CIS altogether.

For families, this may mean fewer therapy sessions, more travel, delays in care, or having to switch providers—potentially disrupting progress your child has already made.

In short: MPPR could make it harder for children to get the therapy they need, when they need it, and may create added challenges for families who rely on multiple sessions to support their child’s development.

We need providers, parents and other advocates to help try to stop this from happening.

To help out, I have created a few templates that can be used by providers and caregivers that I will post in the first few comments below.

Thank you for taking the time to advocate for your profession and for Georgia’s children.
