[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, if your child is an a self-contained autism class, wouldn't the child get OT and ST through the school? Not judging wanting to get private therapy, im just wonder if it raisees a question w the school -- ie if child needs it outside, is the school not doing its job?[/quote] I'm the PP. Why wouldn't we do both? Most everyone I know in a self-contained class does both. They are complementary. Plus schools are notoriously stingy with the OT/ST hours. We had to push for years for him to have one-on-one sessions at schools. The school OT and ST have different objectives - school OT focuses on handwriting, etc. School ST is also focused on educational goals. Private OT is to address overall impulsivemess, sensory input. Private ST is is also deeper on receptive language than anything the school provides. [/quote]
