[quote=Anonymous]Yes, have done it for ages off and on, but won't be doing it this year.  Early on it was just a slightly early pick-up for a therapy appointment, around 25 minutes before school ended.  We felt that was better than trying to do an evening appointment when DS would be exhausted and something like 4 pm or even 5 pm was always booked.  Then we were doing 1 afternoon a week, but they worked DS's schedule around it and he made up the work during his time with his special ed teacher and also missed a special that wasn't of particular interest anyway.  This appointment we had to do in the middle of the afternoon because of traffic.  It was the difference between around 2 3/4 hours per appointment with driving and more like 4.

I also try to schedule special periodic appointments such as the psychologist and developmental ped around 2 or so in the afternoon, again because of traffic.  DS is fine academically and actually benefits from the occasional short days at school in terms of his lacking the emotional/physical stamina day-to-day.  The school has always been very supportive and I think they appreciate that they can see exactly what we do on our side in terms of supplementing therapies he receives at school.[/quote]
