Needless to say, our approaches differ according to the clientele (adult or child) and the nature of the problem to be treated either <a href=\"\/en\/services\/physical-health\/\">physically<\/a> or <a href=\"\/en\/services\/mental-health\/\">mentally<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, regardless of the service, before the first intervention, the person, the parent if it is a child, will receive a questionnaire to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in all cases, the first session begins with a 60 to 90-minute interview in a closed office for evaluation purposes. In the case of a <a href=\"\/en\/services\/pediatric-occupational-therapy\/\">pediatric occupational therapy<\/a> intervention, the parent will also be present at the evaluation and during the interventions according to the age of the child.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the intervention plan will then be developed according to the individual&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Both at the time of the assessment and during the interventions, our professionals always make sure to have the informed written consent of the person or parents.[\/mk_toggle][mk_toggle style=&#8221;fancy&#8221; title=&#8221;How long does a treatment last?&#8221;]Treatments last about 60 minutes but will vary depending on the type of service.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a functional capacity assessment or development, the intervention can be scheduled over the course of half a day to a 6-hour day in clinic.[\/mk_toggle][mk_toggle style=&#8221;fancy&#8221; title=&#8221;Do I need a medical referral?&#8221;]No. You can benefit from the services provided by our <a href=\"\/en\/our-team\/#occupational-therapists\">occupational therapists<\/a> without necessarily being referred by a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the context of treatments reimbursed by the CNESST or the SAAQ, we need your medical prescription to open your file and obtain their authorization to begin occupational therapy treatments (treatment paid by a third-party).[\/mk_toggle][mk_toggle style=&#8221;fancy&#8221; title=&#8221;What documents do I need to bring to the first appointment?&#8221;]You will need to bring your completed questionnaire to your first appointment. If applicable, you must also present an up-to-date list of medications you are taking.<\/p>\n<p>If you have relevant and useful medical information or if you have a prescription with specific indications, the result of a recent MRI for example, it is best to inform us. This will facilitate our work and help improve a quick recovery.[\/mk_toggle][mk_toggle style=&#8221;fancy&#8221; title=&#8221;Do you give receipts?&#8221;]Yes.
