PREP welcomes families from out of town for both speech-language and occupational therapy consults for children of all ages. We are delighted to report that we have followed some out of province children from age 2 to Age 10! It is a rite of spring and summer to welcome back our visitors, as driving is more dependable. That said, visits can be booked year round.

The consults are very popular, as a 1 on 1 consult with PREP's experienced staff gives parents fresh insights into their child's abilities and a road map to follow to make even more progress. At the end of each visit parents receive a PREP Consult Report that outlines goals and teaching strategies that are proven to work both at home and school.

Each session is an hour in length and many families chose to maximize their visit and come 2 or 3 days in a row. Other families in closer proximity to Calgary commit to coming monthly or once every 3 months.

Depending on the child's age, visits can be booked in the morning or afternoon. Parents are encouraged to bring any recent therapy reports for background information for the therapists.

We are pleased to report that many parents have been successful in receiving assistance in making regular visits to The PREP Program. Success stories include:

• Private insurance covering therapy services;
• School boards entering into an agreement with PREP to provide therapy services on a consult basis;
• Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) helping parents with transportation/hotel expenses.
• Other - depending on the home health region or school board or province - parents often receive a pleasant surprise when they ask for assistance!

Rates: minimum $60/hour to a maximum of $120/hour
