CANCELLATION POLICY Your child’s therapy is very important, and Hearts and Hands Therapy Services wants to provide the most effective services to all clients. We are committed to helping improve your child’s overall development; however, your child’s therapy will not progress if too many sessions are missed.

We understand that sometimes a session must be canceled due to illness or other conflicts, but we ask that you give your therapist a 24-HOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE.

If you need to cancel your child’s appointment on the same day as the therapy, please call your child’s therapist as soon as possible. If you are not able to reach him/her, please leave a message on their phone and call the office so that we can try to notify them as well. If therapy is cancelled less than 24 hours in advance, you will be charged a no-show fee of $30 for the missed session.

NO SHOW POLICY If you do not cancel your child’s appointment, it is considered a “No Show”.

The HHTS policy states that a client may be discharged from therapy or placed on a waiting list if there have been more than 2 “No Shows”.
