[quote=Anonymous]Jesus, what is up with all these posters being so bitchy today? Did you wander in from the random-insult festival of General Parenting?

OP, my husband and I both work FT and one of our kids gets OT, PT, and ST every week. Here's how we do it. He gets 1 hour of OT over the weekend at home, and one hour of ST on a weekday morning 7:30-8:30. One of us gets to work a little late that day. The rest of the therapy is at daycare. He is at Easter Seals, which works well because they have therapists on staff, but therapists should be able to go to wherever your child is in daycare. They send reports on each therapy appointment so we know what's going on, and every so often we schedule a time to go observe.

When he starts school he will continue with the same # of hours of therapy at home and the hours that are currently at daycare will be at school through his IEP.

It's not easy but you do not have to quit your job or go part-time if that's not doable for you. Don't let the assholes who are calling you a bad parent get you down. You have to get your kid the services s/he needs but you do not need to sacrifice your career and your family's insurance and financial stability to do it.
