Getting started

As a busy parent myself, I understand how valuable your time is — that’s why I’ve made my intake process easily accessible for parents. With the Fusion patient portal, you can complete everything online at your convenience, allowing me to focus on what matters most — getting your child the care they need as soon as possible!

HOW IT WORKS

Call Caring Connections

Maria will discuss your concerns regarding your child’s speech and language. If you leave a voicemail, please allow 24 hours for a return call.

Fill out forms

Once an email address is provided, you will be sent an email to create a patient portal through Fusion. Here you can access intake forms, including patient history, insurance verification, and releases.

Verify benefits

If you have insurance, Maria will verify your eligibility and benefits after receiving your intake paperwork. She will then call to discuss these details as well as the family’s estimated financial responsibility with insurance coverage. At this time, an appointment can be scheduled.

Initial Evaluation

The evaluation typically lasts about an hour and involves gathering case history information, discussing your child’s development and current concerns, & evaluating your child’s skills through assessments and observation. A recommendation for therapy is made at this time.

Caring Connections uses a patient portal which offers convenient access to:

  • view, save, & print documentation (evaluations and care plans)

  • view upcoming appointments

  • download home education activities assigned by the provider
