[quote=Anonymous]IME fees can range from $45-$100/session for an academic therapist (AT) trained in an OG-based program to come to your house. A session is 45-60 minutes and your child will need 3 to 5 sessions a week. Some ATs I know will discount the session fee if you have more sessions per week. And if your child is ready and willing, the more you do a week the better at this age. You want to start the intervention as early as possible so that your child does continue to fall behind peers.  I think certification (ALTA) is less important than that you select someone who is working with a true OG-based program. Generally there is a lengthy supervision period when training in a quality OG program so you will likely find both certified and uncertified ATs who are well qualified to work with your child. It's not always easy to find one who has openings when you need one, though. Some only work during the school day and generally see students at school (private schools). Others only work in the evenings and may or may not travel to your house.

ASDEC is an excellent first step.  I think ASDEC now maintains a waitlist and will take your information (e.g. number of sessions per week, location, time preference) and try to find an AT to work with you. I believe you will need to provide testing/diagnosis documentation to them.
