[quote=Anonymous]How old is your child? My SN kid also had multiple therapies, about 6 appointments per week. Things that we did to help manage (we both worked full time, though only 40 hrs/week). When she was younger than 3, we had as many therapies at the house as possible through Early Intervention. We found therapists who were willing to work with our schedules, so 2 days a week we had 7:45 a.m. appointments at home, and 2 days a week we had 4:30 p.m. appointments at home. We live close to work so could commute in/out of work within 15 minutes on bike, making it okay to slip in/out of the office. I also teleworked and scheduled my telework days to be the days when we had out of the house appointments. On those days, I would extend my telework day to be around 9-1/2 hours so that I wouldn't have to take leave for the 1.5 hours I was at therapy. It also helped to have a regular schedule -- once my work got used to the fact that Mondays at 10 I would never be available, it wasn't a big deal. Oh and that's the other thing. Mondays and Fridays are less busy in my office so those were good therapy days as I was less likely to miss something important. It took a lot of planning but it was doable. Good luck![/quote]
