Grandview Kids is a mask-friendly space
Grandview Kids is pleased to be a mask-friendly environment. Parents, caregivers, children and youth are no longer required to wear masks during appointments. You are, however, welcome to wear a mask at any of our sites. Team Grandview will continue to wear masks and personal protective equipment during some appointments and programs.
When you enter Grandview Kids:
- Sanitize your hands and your child’s hands.
- Put on a mask if you wish to.
The Assessment
At your first appointment, you will meet with one or more of our staff who will conduct an assessment of your child’s needs. In order to determine what your child’s strengths and needs are, we’ll ask you several questions. Your answers will help us determine the best way to help you and your child. If you are already involved with another organization, you are welcome to invite a representative to attend the assessment with you.
After the assessment, we’ll discuss the results in detail with you. If appropriate, we’ll recommend service(s) for your child.
Although there are waiting lists for some of our services, our staff will make every effort to begin treatment with your child as soon as possible. If other community programs or agencies are available to help your child, we will provide you with the names of those organizations and their contact information.
Your input as parent/guardian is vital. We encourage you to share any comments, questions or concerns you have about your child with us.
Due to government funding criteria, some programs and services are limited to children of certain ages and diagnoses. Your child’s therapist will be able to provide you with more information about eligibility for service. The Social Work Services team at Grandview Kids is available to help families with the transition to other community services.
What if I need to cancel my child’s appointment?
When you need to reschedule an appointment, notify us! Please call us at least three days before your appointment, so we can offer the time to another family. To reschedule, please notify us at 905-728-1673. Repeated missed appointments will result in a service review by our clinical services team or a clinical manager, as required.
