[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It'll get better once your child gets older.  I have a DS8 with ASD/ADHD and the only provider we see on a regular basis is his psychiatrist to manage his ADHD meds once every three months.  We get all services through the IEP at school which leaves plenty of time for me to schlep him to his various sports, hobbies, religious instruction, etc. during the week and weekends.[/quote]

This is very rare you know! Many of us get almost nothing from the schools which means we are schelping our kids to ST, OT and social skills therapy 3-5 times a week. It's exhausting.

We tried private OT and social skills therapy when DS was younger and it was exhausting (for me) and expensive and not effective so we stopped.  The private OT focused on sensory issues which did not cause DS any issues and the social skills therapy did not transfer to his peers at school.  I am sorry to this day that we wasted the time and money - no one took insurance either.[/quote]
