[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD needs OT, ST, and PT.  DH and I both work FT.  We could take the paycut if I went down to 32 hours, but I would still work 40 and my career would suffer.  She won't always need services, so we're really trying to decide our next steps.

DH's job is not flexible.  He works in a secure facility and (obviously) cannot WFH.  I have 4w vacation/2w (1 for family) sick and the ability to WFH as needed.

Has anyone successfully pulled this off?  My management would be amenable to my flexing my schedule significantly as needed and DD will start school in a year, at which time she will not be 100% in private therapy.  Thoughts?[/quote]

What county do you live in?  Can you enroll your child into a school with a child find program that has therapies on site?

Given that you have multiple therapies, how many are reasonable to get stacked on a day?  Can you work 4 x 10s and have them on 1 day?
What type of career impact are you concerned about?[/quote]

That is pretty brutal for the child. Unlikely the therapies will be as effective when stacked.[/quote]
