[quote=Anonymous]Look, you need to let these other parents know which therapy group this is so that NO ONE uses their services.  This is complete and absolute professional malpractice!!!   Just because someoe is an OT or a PT or SLP does not mean that they will do their job, as I have experienced the lazy OTs in particular, who are out there.  You really have to monitor what they do, ask questions, get "homework" so that you can work on things at home to carry over to the next session. I have been that sole parent in the waiting room, or right by the door, listening or watching (to the extent that I could) what they were working on with my child.  I've seen so many times how kids were carted around with their nannies who dropped their kids off at the therapist's office and then returned seconds before the session was over.  They did not get any feedback, ask any questions, or do any follow up with the therapist.  Now, perhaps the parents were getting updated later in the date or via an email, etc.  but I doubt it.  They would charge so much extra for that.   My experience has taught me to be very vigilante of entrusting any therapist with my SN child b/c they are all so different.  Bad experiences with Leaps and Bounds in DC and with Lynn Israel's group in DC.  They squeeze too many kids into a room or a session and they get lazy and don't always spend the time with your child that they should be spending.   [/quote]
