[quote=Anonymous]I take my child to therapy 1x per week, work from home on that day, but I still lose close to 2 hours with getting him there and back. The nanny takes him to a different therapy 1x per week. My employer is pretty flexible. I definitely suggest looking into FMLA leave, if you're worried about the employer penalizing you for lost time. If your employer is in DC, I think you can choose to take it as unpaid rather than burn your sick leave (if employer even allows you to use sick leave for child's appointments). You can take it as "intermittent" leave. You're only eligible if you have worked there at least a year and the employer has at least 50 employees w/in a 75 mile radius. I would also be very clear with the OT and PT that you see this as a time-limited thing, and what you expect/hope to get out of it in that time frame. In my experience, this therapy can often go on and on.[/quote]
