[quote=Anonymous]We're in MoCo. Take the free services if they're offered but supplement with private if you can afford it. Our experience was that the free services were woefully inadequate for both of our children. They were provided in a group format (once out of infants and toddlers) and lacked the intensity necessary for improvement. Some of the county therapists we saw were very knowledgeable, but the county tied their hands in many respects. We supplemented with private for speech and OT. I don't know why people above claim private therapists are inferior to publicly funded. As with any medical professional, some are better than others. We had great experiences with 90% of the professionals we worked with. Perhaps the difference is we weren't limited to in-network providers. Check your out of network coverage. [/quote]
