[quote=Anonymous]My DC had a profound speech disorder and also needed OT. He did speech and OT at school (2x and 1x). We also did private speech 2 days a week year round and OT 1x per week during school year. in summer we did a 6-week OT camp for 3 years, leaving a bit early for speech twice a week. One parent went part time and 3-6 pm 3 days a week was spent in cars / specialists. The younger sibling was small so dragged along. When he became school age we had him stay in after-care so he could play rather than accompany his brother. For us it worked. DC was dismissed from private speech and OT around age 10 and amazingly our kids really don't remember this period of their lives at all. It is true that the after-school appointments are in demand. I'd get on the schedule for the therapist and OT now -- you can always dial back if it's too much. But very hard to get those appointment slots later. Good luck! [/quote]
