[quote=Anonymous]I personally would not recommend declining op. Therapists know how to push in. if you are offered services your child likely needs them. Therapists know how to push in without being distracting and they can definitely help with a goal like improving motor skills by integrating into activities they are already doing (that would ultimately help with zipping a coat!) without being disruptive. I agree the process can be confusing though, I wish it was better. Sometimes they are willing to do every other week like one week at school one week at home, maybe you could ask for that? You could say it would help you integrate at home as well which is really important. If you don’t ever see the therapist you won’t learn the tips so that’s important I agree with your point there.

But you absolutely don’t want to be declining because of the poster above worried about stigma that can be so harmful for your child to miss out on services. No preschooler is worried about why another adult is in the room! Do not worry about this. Get your child the services they need. [/quote]
