[quote=Anonymous]OP, what exactly are you looking for?  I am surprised that you have gone this long when you know you child needs more and haven't gotten it when your insurance will comer some.  You aren't willing to change your or your husband's work so the only options are either family step in or hire a nanny.  Sorry, no empathy on the oh, we have car payments.  We drive 10 and 15 year old cars and manage in a small house clipping coupons to make it work.  Its a sacrifice but we still manage to save a little for retirement and college and both realize these early years are the most important, especially when it comes to early intervention.

If you are looking for someone to say forgo therapy, in that case, its a choice you can only make.  If you are looking for someone to say quit, that is a choice only you can make (but you aren't willing).

For us, we do 4 day a week speech therapy, once a week OT and PT.  We supplement with sports/gymnastics for the gross motor.  I spend my days running from appointment to appointment.  For us, the only choice is for me to stay home as by the time they take out taxes, social security and all the extra's, we would barely cover a nanny's salary so what is the point of that?[/quote]
