[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are contracted with a lot of schools, no?

Anyway, I've had some contact with them through DS's school, with which they have a contract. I found Judi to be very warm and personable, but what I find more worrisome is the impossibility of remaining unbiased when contracted with a preschool. There seem to be way too many kids who are referred for an "observation" for our normal preschool (this is not a special needs school). And given the demographics of the school (wealthy,well-educated, involved parents), the observation in and of itself will get the parents to start looking into sending the kid to therapy of some sort. In our preschool class of 10, it seems that at least three kids have undergone some sort of observation, and at least two of these kids have had parents shell out hundreds of dollars for further evaluation for minor issues that may very well resolve themselves, given that these kids are 3.

I used to think that there was no harm done by having your kid go to PT/OT/ST, but I am now somewhat more skeptical especially because I have seen the stress that is caused to the parents. I also think that if the PT/OT/ST were simply available as a reference, rather than on contract, there would be fewer kick-back issues.[/quote]

This is why I posted. This was my experience last year. Thousands of debt dollars later those issues are gone but the next set of issues (being 4) are back. Looking forward to 5,6,7..13.-OP
