[quote=Anonymous]The beginning, when you're first figuring out what's what and what directions to pursue, are the most time-intensive. After you've decided on a course of weekly therapies the schedule will regularize. At least it has in our case. Then, at moments of transition, such as changing schools or IEP time, things will ramp up again. Your kid will rebel if it becomes too much. Ours did at a certain point and we cut down on some of the weekly appts. If it's at all possible, I would caution you not to send a babysitter to the appts. I have discussed this with one of the therapists we were really close to and she agreed that giving feedback and discussing the child in those five or seven minutes before and after the appt are just not the same without a parent present. Plus, while the kid is in therapy you get a little break. Get the babysitter for the typical kids at home.[/quote]
