What to expect for INCLINC appointments with TSFK therapist

What to expect with my TSFK Therapist

We request that all adults and children (under 2 are exempt) wear masks.
For children over 2 that are not able to tolerate please alert their therapist.  Kids over 2 can also wear a face covering, as long as they can remove it themselves. Children under 2 years old should never wear a face covering.  Although the CDC has lifted restrictions we are still following state guidelines.
We ask that only one adult participate in therapy at a time and will not be allowing siblings at this time.  
(some exceptions to the rule can be made with approval)

When you arrive in the parking lot, please call and let us know you are here.  Please stay in your car until your appointment time to avoid coming into contact with others.  We will alert you of which door to enter. 503-224-1998. The waiting room will be closed until further notice.  Please go into the treatment room with your child or wait in your car.  There is a Starbuck close by and a river trail along the Willamette River.

1. We have 4 access doors to the clinic and plan to use them all as needed.  They will be numbered 1-4 with the Reception door being #1, # 2, and 3 will be visible from our main door but # 4 is located down the hall past the men’s restrooms.
2. Your therapist will open the door for you.  You will also be asked to answer a few quick COVID screening questions then she will direct you and your child to a sink to wash your hands, and have temperatures taken.   If you answer Yes to any of these will not be able to continue with the appointment for that day.  We strongly encourage you then check in with your Dr. or your child’s pediatrician for further advice at that point.

Depending on your therapist’s schedule, sessions may end early to allow for cleaning between clients.  We will be using a combination of cleaning procedures including UV lights, wiping down surfaces, masks, and face shields.  Thank you all for your sustained support and for allowing us to continue to serve you and your children. 

3/15/2021 Most therapists are fully vaccinated at this time!  Each therapist has been diligent in attempting to travel far and wide to obtain this for the safety of our clients.

11/15/2020 A 2-week freeze does it apply to TSFK?  Not at this time, we will are treating with the same high standards.  A combination of treatment methods based on the individual client’s therapeutic needs and/or family situation.  If you have more questions feel free to ask by calling 503-224-1998

11/12/2020 Mask update for children 2-5 years old.  Children 2 and older should wear face coverings.
