[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Children's Speech and Language Services is close for you, and they seem to provide what your child needs, I would go ahead and schedule an evaluation with them and see what they say.  Maybe they'll think DS needs 2x/week therapy or maybe they won't.  We go to Children's Speech and Language Services in Springfield--they are truly excellent.  DS started at 19 months and has motor speech planning issues.  He has always gone only 1x/week--even when I asked at the beginning if he should come 2x/week.  And, even if they say that 2x/week services would be best, tell them that you can afford and will start with 1 session per week for now.  The specialists we have dealt with have always given their opinion about what would be best for DS (OT, ST, etc), but have also always understood that each family's resources aren't unlimited.  You do the best you can/[/quote]

Forgot to mention that I'll second the PP's recommendation of looking at Exceptional Children's Center.  OP, I think we have the same insurance you do (FEP BCBS Basic), and they accept our insurance for OT--we pay only a $25 copay.  I can't speak to their SLPs because we go to CSLS as noted above.[/quote]
