Therapy Service Policies

PAYMENT POLICY
Payment is due at the time of service. Currently accepted forms of payment include Venmo (@Ashlee-Schmitt), Paypal (colorfullyenthused@gmail.com), check (Ashlee Schmitt), and cash. I also accept payment from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). In addition, I’m happy to provide a Superbill at the end of each session that you can submit to your health insurance to seek reimbursement.

CANCELLATION POLICY
A cancellation is considered late when the appointment is cancelled less than 24 hours before the appointed time. I understand that life gets busy. Appointments can absolutely be rescheduled in advance, without a problem. However, when you book your appointment, you are holding a space on the The ColorfullyEnthused* Therapy Studio calendar that is no longer available to other clients. Therefore, cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments are in high demand, and your advanced notice will allow another patient access to that appointment time. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please call (614-425-5752) or email me (colorfullyenthused@gmail.com). Cancellations that occur within 24-hours of our appointment will result in a $20 fine.

LATE ARRIVAL POLICY

I know things happen—traffic, last minute phone calls, things at work/home, etc. However, I have reserved this time for your child, and only your child. I have other children scheduled after your time. A late arrival will require that I end our scheduled session at the scheduled time, meaning your child’s session will subsequently be shorter than initially intended.

NO-SHOW POLICY

A no-show is when an appointment is missed without cancelling. Not showing to an appointment will result in a $45 fine.

Occupational therapy involves the therapeutic use of occupations—the meaningful, daily activities of a person’s life—to promote health and improve clients’ participation and performance in . . . their occupations—the meaningful, daily activities of a person’s life! With improved performance in an occupation as the end goal, we also use occupations as the means to get there; it’s a large part of the reason it’s so fun!

Here’s a blog post that provides a fuller description of the profession I love!

Maybe you see some areas where your your child could use a boost, but aren’t sure whether or not they’d “qualify” for OT services.

Good news! In the private practice world, qualification isn’t necessary!

Your child does not need a diagnosis in order to benefit from work with an occupational therapist. Diagnoses are often defined by a compilation of specific skill-deficits. Although diagnoses can help us understand some aspects of a person, at The ColorfullyEnthused* Therapy Studio, it’s not about diagnoses or skill deficits.

We view children as whole beings: living, breathing entities who are capable-of-growth! With or without a diagnosis, we meet a child right where they are, identify the things they want or need to do, assess where the breakdown’s occurring, and find a way to help them achieve success.

I specialize in treating children and youth between the ages of 5 and 12, in the areas of visual and fine motor skills, visual spatial skills and visual perception, attention, executive functioning, self care, self-regulation, study skills, stress management, and general mental health.

Although a diagnosis is not necessary to justify the need for treatment, I’ve worked with children of a variety of diagnoses including dysgraphia, developmental coordination disorder, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), autism (ASD), Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and cognitive impairment.

Check out the services I offer and associated costs, as well as my page on policies, and then send me an email if you think I’d make a good fit for the needs of your child: colorfullyenthused@gmail.com—I can’t wait to hear from you!
