The guidance from the US Department of Homeland Security memorandum on the list of essential infrastructure workers states that: 

 “If you work in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security, such as healthcare services and pharmaceutical and food supply, you have a special responsibility to maintain your normal work schedule.

Community-STARs is able to practice within the recommended CDC guidelines and follows our local government mandates. 


Here’s what we are doing:

  • Therapists attest daily to COVID screening questions and taking their temperatures.

  •  Disinfect before and after each treatment session.

  •  Only one adult caregiver and one child client in a session.

  • Everyone older than three years old, who is able, must wear a mask.

  • Family’s text therapist or call the office: 540-225-1150 when they arrive. Front Desk will let families know when therapist is ready for them to come in.

  • Therapist meets family to review COVID screening questions and take temperatures.

  • Therapists, caregivers, and children wash hands and/or disinfect hands before and after every treatment session.

  • If a client has any symptoms, the in-person appointment is changed to a tele-health session or re-scheduled after 10 days from the last symptom.

  • Treatment sessions are >6ft from another client in the open gym.

  • The lobby is closed. We ask that the parent or caregiver who is not attending the session with their child wait under the pavilion or in your vehicle.
