[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, the therapist follows around your kidat preK and acts as a "personal assistant" b/c preschool teachers don't have the time or training to do that.
The therapist will repeatedly help with OT things that cone up throughout the day, friendly reminders, tips & tricks, etc.

So your kid won't miss recess time bc said therapist will be out there with him/hovering too, for example.

Are there social issues issues too (not very verbal so not many friends, can't control body so nobody wants to sit near him at circle time)?[/quote]

Op here. No but he does have other therapists. I also feel like it’s going to be more of a follow around approach and for 30 mins a week doesn’t seem worth it. I opted to have the services at home or the library and they said that was fine.

For kumon I do think it will hold me accountable as he gets homework every day. We have a newborn expected any day now. We may start kumon in the spring or summer. The program was great for my older child. He’s always the best in his class for math.
