[quote=Anonymous]LOL re: poorly written report-so true!

It's all play, but for my kid it was intimidating having 3 or 4 people (I think they had a trainee too) there. Defitely think about when your child hit crucial milestones so you can give ages.

Some kids love it, some hate it. Mine hated it and was uncooperative. I fell apart when I found out how poor the results were, but he refused to do anything so I should have expected it. When they re-evaluated after 6 months or a year he did much better. He knew the ST who evaluated him (and OT) and it was even more laid back. If she knew he could do something/had seen the skill many times before, she gave him credit even if he didn't do it right there.EI of course attributed the astounding improvements to their incredible services rather than giving any credit to the fact the testing situations were drastically different.

Our ST was decent. I was not impressed with either OT we tried. If they tell you NOBODY ever requests a change, that is bullshit. I did and turns out everyone I know who has gone this route requested a change of ST or OT at some point.

It's a good starting point. I was much more impressed with the progress once we went private, but early on EI was nice because I was overwhelmed and they came to my home.[/quote]
