Families and patients,

We are making some changes to scheduling in our therapy department to create 45 minute appointments for all therapists (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and feeding therapy). We have attempted to provide letters to families to let them know, but if you have noticed future appointments being cancelled, do not worry, you are still a patient with us! We will be contacting you in the next few days to confirm new appointment times with you or work to find a time that does work for you and your child. We ask for your patience as we work through these changes, expected to begin April 1st!

Thank you,
Your ASCI Therapy Team
