The aquatics program is scheduled as needed for each client and is
offered primarily as an extension of an individual's land-based therapy
plan of care.
Continuation in aquatics is based on an individual's plan of
care, with referral initiating from the primary physician or NBT
land-based therapist. It must be determined by the therapist(s) that
treatment in a water medium is appropriate to achieve specific therapy
outcomes. Your
therapist will discuss specific goals for aquatic therapy and discuss
with
you the length of time that aquatic based therapy will be appropriate.
Parents or individual adults receiving physical can also initiate the process by inquiring about aquatics and discussing
it with the land-based therapist. If it is determined that treatment
in the
water is indicated, the land-based therapist fills out the referral
form
and provides the client or family with an information packet.
