[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public or private school? Public schools are too conservative with providing OT. Anything free is hard to get. Private schools are known to over-refer to private practices which don't take insurance. Also, if they let an outside OT come in and observe to "catch things early" do not ever see that OT. It's a conflict of interest and it's sketchy and unethical to refer kids to yourself. I would however, get another opinion or 2 from reputable OTs who aren't so hungry for customers. [/quote]

I totally agree![/quote]

Agree too.  We looked at several schools that insisted we use their speech and OT person, who did not take our insurance.  OT is free through our insurance and speech has a minimal co-pay, but if we went outside our network, we would have to private pay 100%.  Many of the concerns our child had were much better helped by the teachers at his current school (who advised me not to bother with OT as they will do it) and they were correct and they did a much better job as they did it every day (we did it at home too) and really worked with him.  Being with the other kids and seeing them do it helped far more too.[/quote]
