[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, maybe because I've been at this for a long time, but I feel like it comes in fits and spurts.  Shuttling your SN child to appointments is the same time commitment as shuttling your NT kids to activities.  Researching camps and activities is time consuming for all of your kids.  IEPs are once a year.  I have more meetings a year than most, but really they add up to about once a week at school before I head off to work.  Research is intense periodically, but once your child is diagnosed and you've gained an understanding of his or her issues, research is an occasional issue.   So it's different and involves more than my NT kids.  And on some days it feels heavy, but that's probably worry.  But, most of the time, I don't feel like I devote an overwhelming amount of time.[/quote]

You cannot compare activities to therapy and all involved with a typical kid.  You do not get it.  We do activities and therapy on top of full day school. Insurance is a nightmare, constant eva,hat ions with each person saying something different and homework from school and therapies.  No,mactivities are not equal to therapy.  We cannot send out child to camp.  He is with me all summer.   I do not get if your chikd is special needs that you are not devoting a lot of time to it or you just do not care and let it be others issue [/quote]
