Maybe it didn’t do anything for your kid but it’s a massive overreach to say “it doesn’t do anything” and offensive to the therapists who work with my child. If it didn’t “do anything” people would not be waiting months to see an OT and would not be ensdorsed as a treatment by physicians and neuropsychologists. Sounds like you wanted a quick fix or pill to “fix” your kid to me.

[quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot of overconsumption of these resources. DCUM is always telling people to “see a dev ped” or “get a neuropsych” when assessment by the county early intervention office would probably be fine. Lots of OT that doesn’t do anything and speech therapy for kids with no actual delays.

The real problem is the lack of evidence-based therapies and the lack of strong support services in schools. I’d wait a year for the right therapy. [/quote][/quote]

Yes people would wait months and waste $1000s on services that don’t work … there’s very little that works. [/quote]

It depends on the child and concerns.  Some of our kids benefitted and are doing better years later.  Others will continue to struggle.  [/quote]
