Please follow the policies outlined below for specific medical conditions:

Covid- Children with a diagnosis of Covid can return to class 24 hours or more after they test negative for Covid. If your child has been exposed to a household member who currently has covid but do not test positive themselves we ask that they wear a mask to their class or session. 

Flu- Children can return to classes and session once they are fever free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications.

RSV - Children can return to classes and session once they are fever free for 48 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications.

Strep throat- Children can return to classes and sessions after 48 hours or more from when they start antibiotics. 

Hand Foot Mouth- Children can return to classes and sessions when they are fever free for 24 or more hours without the aid of fever reducing medications and all blisters have scabbed over.. Child should cover any affected skin until it is completely healed. 

Lice- Children with lice can return to classes and sessions when they are adult lice and egg free for a minimum of 48 hours. 

Ringworm- Children with ringworm can return to classes and sessions 72 hours after starting Anti-fungal treatment. Affected skin should be covered while visible signs are present, typically 4 weeks. 

Pink Eye - Children being treated with Antibiotics can return after 24 hrs, children not being treated with antibiotics are excluded for 5 days.

Chickenpox - Children can return to classes and sessions once their rash has scabbed. This can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple of weeks. 

Impetigo - Children can return to classes and sessions after 48 hours or more from when they start antibiotics. 

Scabies- Children can return to classes and sessions after 72 hours or more from when treatment is initiated. 

Pinworm- Children can return to classes and sessions after 48 hours or more from when treatment is initiated. 

Mononucleosis - Children can return to classes and session once they are fever free for 48 hours or more without the aid of fever reducing medications and a note from their doctor that they are safe to return to session and class. Please note we recommend slowly easing back into session and classes as extreme fatigue and spleen complications can persist for several weeks.

Breaks

Recreational classes, Pre-preschool and Camps- Because of the physical nature of our sensory classes it is not safe to have children with casts or splints participate. The immobilization process can weaken the affected body part and the risk of re-breaking after cast or splint removal is high. Before returning to services at P2P you will need to provide a detailed return to physical activity letter from your child’s doctor. 

OT Therapy Session and Group - Children in casts or splints will need a detailed treatment plan and clearance from their doctor as to their participation in physical activities. Therapy sessions will be tailored to minimize risk of healing disruption or re-breaking. Once a child is ready to return to regular activities a second full clearance for return to physical activity from their doctor is required. 

Sprains

Recreational classes, Pre-preschool, and Camps - Children should not attend class until the swelling has ceased and the affected body part can be load-bearing without pain. 

OT Therapy Session and Group - Children with sprains can participate in limited therapy activities if cleared by a doctor. Children without a doctor's clearance should not attend sessions until the swelling has ceased and the affected body part can be load-bearing without pain. Please note the risk of re-injury for sprains is high, our staff will gradually return them to normal activities over the course of a few sessions. 

Lacerations

Children should ensure that any lacerations are covered. We recommend that children with lacerations on parts of the body that are at high risk of re-injury wait until lacerations have partially or fully healed.

Burns 

Minor burns should be covered and if comfortable, children may return to regular activities. For moderate to severe burns we will follow a detailed recommendation from your child’s doctor and need a letter providing clearance to return to activities. 

Head Injuries and Concussions

Children experiencing active concussion symptoms should not attend any P2P services. Once your child’s doctor deems it safe for them to return and provides a detailed return to play clearance they can resume services. 

For OT sessions: If you notify us prior to the start time of your child’s session that your child is sick, we are happy to schedule a make-up session. If we are notified 24 hrs or more in advance you are eligible to use one of your courtesy cancellations if you have them available. Please reference our full cancellation policy for more information. 

For Classes: As long as you log into your account and cancel before the class begins we will credit that class back to your account.
