[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be selective and focus on interventions that you think is most helpful. In our situation, medication, tutoring and an IEP made the biggest difference. We eliminated everything else. Everything else we did was a money pit. It was financially and logistically unsustainable. Now that DC is older and more mature (high school), therapy may help so we are on a waiting list for a therapist that takes insurance. [/quote] This is good advice. Looking back at all we did over the years, early intervention speech therapy was very effective. Honestly, that was about it for DS. I wish we could get back the thousands on private evaluations and talk therapy in later years but it is what it is and we couldn’t have known. The psychiatrist visits were so expensive and they eliminated medications that we found out didn’t work for him so I guess that’s something. He’s a teen now and not in any therapy and doesn’t see any tutors other than school. Be selective, try something and don’t be afraid to change if it’s not working. [/quote]
