How do you write a treatment plan for a child with complex or atypical needs, and how do you know when to change it?

What they are checking: Whether they set measurable goals and adjust based on data rather than staying on a plan that isn't working.

How do you keep up with documentation and billing in an outpatient setting with a full schedule?

What they are checking: Whether they have habits that keep records accurate and timely, which affects payment and continuity of care.

How do you keep a four-year-old engaged for a full therapy session?

How do you include parents in home practice so therapy continues between visits?
