Helping Hands Therapeutic Services (HHTS) is a locally founded, private pediatric therapy provider…read morethat offers outpatient therapy services for children in Coastal Virginia at their new clinic location in Chesapeake and through contracted, home-based Early Intervention (EI) services in partnership with local cities' Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia programs. (Contracting cities as of July '22 include Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, & Norfolk.) -- Services -- HHTS provides pediatric services to include occupational, speech, and physical therapies, developmental services, vision services, social skill groups, and an open sensory gym (by appointment). HHTS has a team of about 25 therapists who provide clinic-based outpatient and/or home-based Early Intervention (EI) services (specifically for children under 3), which is a parent-coaching model. Examples of the groups include K-Prep Language Building, Middle School Language, Middle School Social Skills Groups, High School Social Skills Groups, Handwriting Groups, and Therapeutic Dance Groups. -- Therapists -- Our experiences have been with the EI providers. They make a point to check-in at each session about how the child has been doing, what's working/not as far as the interventions, and model interventions based on what the family identifies as the main priority (which fits in with the overall service plan made with the family). The therapists also ask about other therapies that the child is receiving and generally try to compliment those. Sessions end with what with the parents would like to work on until the next session. The success of this model is really dependent on the parents carrying it out, but it also can be the most effective when therapies are incorporated throughout the day and week and not just for a session or two per week (like clinic-based appointments). I found their pediatric therapeutic services (OT and developmental) to be excellent and would highly recommend them! Their OT was essential in helping us build joint attention, which is a foundation for learning. We wouldn't have accomplished any of the rest of his goals without her help. -- Insurance Know-How -- The HHTS owner provided us with a free consultation and was extremely well-versed in insurance and what options were available to us. In case it's helpful, if you likewise want to line up clinic and home-based early intervention (EI) services for speech, you either need EI to not bill your insurance or you need to use them as your clinic and EI service provider. Also note that if your child is under 3 and you have Optima, your only choices for clinic-based OT are Sentara or CHKD (not HHTS); however, we were able to use HHTS for EI services. -- Assessments -- Because we are using their EI services, the Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia program for our city arranges assessments and service coordination. If you go to HHTS for clinic-based services, HHTS would do initial assessments and goal setting with you. -- Scheduling -- Since we are using their EI services, we schedule directly with each therapist for the next month's session dates. Therapists have always been prompt and keep their scheduled times. If you go to HHTS for clinic-based services, HHTS admin staff would work with you to schedule appointments. -- Environment -- If you do home-based services, it helps to have a calm, quiet place to give updates, get info about techniques, and get the most out of the therapies. The sensory gym at their clinic opened in spring of '22 and the open gym time is something we'd like to take advantage of in the future. It's by appointment and parental supervision is required. There are a lot of great tools for sensory input and self-regulation: the gym features swings, crash pads, a ball pit, monkey bars, rock climbing, a slide, and a zip line. -- Conclusions -- Ultimately this place was a good fit for us. There are a lot of positives, including the knowledgeable staff and the opportunity to receive coaching. Their social skills and other groups also seem like a great resource.

Some of the reasons I love this place: Early availability starting at 7:30 am, so I can get my PT in and not miss too much work. Tons of open space. It's been pretty busy in the afternoons, but it never feels cramped. Super clean and organized. I've noticed the therapists take care to clean each piece of equipment, bed, chair or device before and after use. Easy communication - MyChart is the online way to communicate with providers and staff and they respond quickly. Kristen has done a wonderful job of managing my protocol. She has been so easy to work with. She monitors my progress through each appointment - I've seen other centers that essentially give a patient a list of exercises without monitoring them to ensure they are done correctly. I'm grateful for the staff here and am pleased with the progress I've made since having shoulder surgery in March, thanks to Kristen and the team at this center.

My 3 stars are solely for the amazing OT's at the Virginia Beach location. Unfortunately, this…read morelocation has a lot of issues with high turnover so my son has seen 3 different OT's in the past 9 months. Luckily, they have all been great. That's where the pros end though. The front desk people are all miserable all the time, both at the OT & speech buildings. My son's speech therapist is always irritated with him and needs to retire, I will be changing speech therapists soon. I've been told other speech therapists there are amazing though. So all in all this location is hit or miss and if it weren't for the great OT's, I would find another place altogether.

I attended therapy for three months, and every day I was welcomed and well cared for.

The easiest way to get in is from General Booth Blvd. southbound where Jose Tequillas is located, as there is no direct access from the road there. So, what brought me here in the first place. Achilles Tendonitis in the left foot. In April 2018, I was walking to get my lunch at work and I felt something pop with my left foot which didn't feel good. The ground is flat too. So, after seeing the specialist and finding out it was Achilles tendonitis, I was referred here for physical therapy to get this issue resolved. The good thing is that I started this process pretty quickly after it occurred, so it minimized the effects and length of time needed for physical therapy. When I called the office, I was surprised at how quickly they were able to get me in. I was there for my first visit and consultation just two days after seeing the specialist. My therapist for the duration of this issue was Crystal Barnes, who is also the clinic director. The first visit starts with a consultation to go over the issue at hand, take measurements, and the such. After that first visit, it would then be just working through the physical therapy process to get things back to normal. The physical therapy part of this adventure wasn't as easy as I thought at the beginning, but they do start you off slowly with the exercises and then eventually work you up higher as things improve, including adding additional activities. This part is normally done with their physical therapy assistants. Crustal also did some deep massage and dry needling as well. For both of those, you will really feel it and may hurt, especially on the first round, but it gets much easier after that. Over a few sessions, you will definitely tell the difference. I was going there two times a week for a little over two months. After a few months, the issue was finally resolved and no longer needed to continue the physical therapy. Fast forward a few months. I have no recurring issues with my foot at this point for the Achilles tendonitis. I am also still doing some of the exercises as done in physical therapy to this day to keep certain this issue doesn't come back later. The entire staff here is great to work with. The ones at the front desk always greet you with a smile and nice to have small conversation with when it isn't too busy at the time. Crystal has been great with my foot and the issue. If for some reason I do need physical therapy in the future, this will definitely be the place I come back to. If you need physical therapy, you need to check them out as well.
