[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an issue of where they would work with your child? The school can't provide office space. And what I'd something happened on campus while the private therapists were treating your child? Could the school be found liable? The logistics seem tricky.[/quote]

This. It's totally preposterous to think that a school would allow a non-staff member to work with your child during the school day. Who would be responsible for ensuring that the child moves from the classroom to this office space that the school would have to provide? What happens during a fire drill? Who accounts for OP's kid?

Whatever. [b]These concerns are excuses.[/b] [b]They could make it work if they actually cared about what was best for the child.[/b] They allow volunteers; why not professionals?

Our private ST has been going into our private school for years. The therapist is an adult with a brain so when they evacuated, just this week, due to a bomb threat, she followed everyone out of the building and kept DS with her until she found his class. Then she helped with all the kids because she couldn't leave anyway.

The school staff love her and value her input.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous.  Liability laws aren't just made up on the spot.  A private school has more discretion as to whom they allow on campus and probably have more space available.  Have you been to a public school recently?  They are incredibly over crowded.  There aren't empty offices sitting around.  Get a grip and get out of your bubble.[/quote]
