[quote=Anonymous]Yes, support for this really sucks. - Work with your pediatrician and get whoever you can for speech and OT. Better something now than nothing. - Ask the person that diagnosed if they have a list of speech / OTs. If they do then it’s a matter of calling all of them and seeing who has availability, who takes what insurance, and if they do push-in services or not (if that is what you need). I killed 2 weeks doing this so maybe take some time off from work. - Explore / Google social skills classes. - Beyond the above, there really isn’t anything else until kids hit 5 or 6. Find a developmental pediatrician. - Find a therapist for yourself or potentially a couples counselor. The ride can be rough! - If you both work, be prepared that it’s rough with all the transportation needed for these therapies. [/quote]
