[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  DD is 4.5 -- starts K a year from Sept.  She is in full time center care right now.  It's a good center with a strong curriculum and loving and aware teachers.  She has had hypotonia issues since infancy and now auditory processing related issues as well as fine motor limitations are emerging.

I think the hypotonia and capd issues are the most significant, if I have to prioritize (and I will because insurance only covers 40 OT/PT a year).  OT can be managed at home with a lot of hands on games and interactive play, with periodic check ins.  The CAPD, however, is something she needs strong coping skills for.

We are in Fairfax Co and our child care center works with Child Find very, very well.  They are close to Forest Edge and Aldrin, where many of the PreK services are coordinated.

She is a very strong visual learner and logical thinker, so it's a matter of helping the pieces come together in my opinion.[/quote]

Does your child care center allow therapists to go to the center and do therapies there?  
Or can you enroll her in a program through Fairfax so that services are a part of her daily day?  I would try and advocate for placement if I could and that way you have the flexability to take your personal time to enjoy your time together as opposed to consuming it all just to get through therapy sessions.

There is no magic answer.[/quote]
