BASICS Safety Protocols 2024
BASICS, LLC wants to ensure that families and staff are safe. We continue to adapt policies as the CDC, OSSE, and DC change their recommendations and mandates. This memo will lay out our general level policies for the new stage.
Everyone commits to:
Provide accurate information on the health status of yourself or someone who will be at the sessions regarding COVID-19 status and symptoms
Wash hands frequently after sneezing, coughing, blowing nose, touching face, or consuming food or drink.
Will wear a mask if they want
Follow the Mayor's orders regarding masks, testing, and quarantines.
Families agree that:
There must be running water and soap at all times on the premises where sessions occur.
Ensure tissues are available for students if they have allergies
Cancel sessions if student is ill
Will wear a mask if they want
BASICS ABA Therapy commits to:
Provide masks to all employees.
Provide one mask to clients if needed.
Provide hand sanitizer to employees.
Continue to educate and train our employees and clients on COVID-19 and hygiene best practices.
Continue our ongoing use of CDC, OSSE, and DC recommendations and guidelines.
BASICS cannot share staff or client vaccine status
Staff and clients MUST notify us of Failed Health Screening and Positive COVID tests by texting the scheduling line at (202) 495-0639.
Health Screenings
Cancel sessions if: the child, therapist or anyone who will be present during the session is currently experiencing any COVID symptoms not related to a known diagnosis the session must be canceled
One symptom or more symptoms:
Fever
Wet cough producing mucus
Loss of taste or smell
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Pre-existing Conditions
If you have a pre-existing condition that would cause you to fail the daily health screening such as a condition that causes coughing, then you are encouraged to provide a doctor's note for the pre-existing condition. The doctor’s note does not need to list the condition, it just needs to state that symptom. This will remain confidential. You can check “no” on the health form next to that symptom and you can pass your health screening. Without a doctor’s note, it will be considered a failed health screening and the process above will be followed.
Failed Health Screenings Return Criteria
24 hrs have passed without symptoms (without use of fever reducing medication)
OR
A medical evaluation and a doctor's note stating symptoms are the result of a preexisting condition or non contagious illness and are in good health
Staff or Client Positive Test Return Criteria if Positive for COVID:
At least 5 days after positive test
AND
A negative rapid test
AND
At least 24 hours after any fever has resolved without the use of fever-reducing medication (i.e., Motrin, Tylenol) and any respiratory symptoms have improved
