We actually see one of her associates, Ashley, for the social skills group in DC. We'd love a new girl in the group!

DC (Palisades) [phone]

VA (Falls Church) [phone]

We go to a Tuesday afternoon/evening group: 2 Kindergarten girls in therapy and 1 typically developing 4 y.o. girl who just likes to join in.

PP here. I guess I should add that the 4 y.o. is my 5 y.o.'s very chatty little sister. The therapist likes having her in the group because she's a slightly advanced but developmentally-appropriate age model for their games, crafts, tea parties, etc.

OP here. That sounds perfect. Are you in the Palisades group? If so, would they take one more?

Yes, we are and I know we could take one more! If you're interested, call and tell them that you'd like to join Ashley's Tuesday 4:45pm group in the DC office. I'd call the VA office and leave a message to that effect on Kirsten's vx-mail and then call the DC office and leave the same message on Ashley's vx-mail.

Thanks. I left them a message!

I have to say that we also left Floortime. I know that it works really well for some, but my DD has a lot of problems with sequencing and word recall and it just never helped her gain any traction. I think with any approach you really have to step back and evaluate periodically. Good luck OP!
