[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the continued replies. And for all the hugs... I really need them right now!

To answer a few questions. My daughter's former therapist wasn't a fan of sign language and picture cards. She saw them as a crutch and excuse to not use words so discouraged their use except for using the bathroom and such emergency situations.

My daughter hasn't had any speech therapy and probably won't qualify for any as the school district assessment personnel heard her talk and consider her to have the ability to talk. Never mind that she can't in certain situations. They don't care about that! Is that something parents can seek out on their own?

My daughter also loves to swing! Unfortunately, our two neighborhood parks don't have any. I may look into getting a set for home. I'd never thought of itbeing therapeutic.

I am looking for a new treatment professional. The therapist we were working with is an SM expert and highly regarded in our area so I'm super bummed that it didn't work out. From what I hear, there's no one else like her here.

Thank you PP above for reminding me that treatment is a long process with many ups and downs. We've had such progress that I forget this. I think for now, we'll ease off the pressure and help her remember that it can be fun to just be around people and in public. She does still like to go out. [/quote]
