Accessing the Right Care
FOX will consider your clinical needs, goals, safety, home environment, and caregiver support when recommending care. When clinically appropriate, virtual care may help reduce wait times or connect you with a therapist when distance or local availability creates a barrier. This may be especially useful for speech-language pathology evaluation, treatment, caregiver education, and follow-up. Limited physical therapy education or caregiver training may also be supported virtually when appropriate.
