[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He needs the OT more than circle time. You can attend K without any preschool at all. Plus you can work on the preschool stuff with him. Do not decline the OT.[/quote]

+10. Much easier to fix these issues now than when DC is older. Get the OT now, either in school or after school, but now. [/quote]

I don't think OP is against OT. They are against the approach EE wants to take which isn't one on one services. If your child was supposed to receive speech therapy but wanted the therapist to sit next to the child in class and correct speech instead of working one on one most wouldn't be happy. OT needs to be done one on one to be effective at such a young age. [/quote]

This isn't EE, the child is over 3 and has an IEP.

"Sitting next to child in class and correcting speech" isn't remotely what push in therapy looks like.  [/quote]

Op here. It is early intervention. My son is still in preschool. These services are county services and yes they just want to do observation approach but yet they also have very specific goals like zipping his coat, writing name etc. I pushed to do services outside of school and the therapist said that’s fine but we would get assigned to someone else who does home services. The other services he gets are also observational. It honestly just seems like a waste and distracting to his day.
