[quote=Anonymous]We tried ITC for my son when he was a little over a year old.  We first had an OT for about six months and she really tried her best to work with him, we worked on feeding issues and getting him to walk.   When we had the six month eval I asked for a break because I didn't feel like he was getting much out of it.  He just wasn't interested in working with her or doing any of the suggested activities I was supposed to do with him.  So we had a month or two break between services.  In that time he decided he wanted to walk and one day just started doing it.  So I started to feel that maybe ITC wasn't right for him, that he was on his own timeline and therapy wasn't going to speed things up.  He did continue with physical and speech therapy for a few more months, it seemed to have limited help.  When he turned two I decided to enroll him in Fairfax County's ChildFind program.  He grew to really love it, he looked forward to school each day and seeing his teachers and classmates.  There's been limited progress with his communication so now we're looking into supplementing privately with speech and OT.  Overall I would say ITC wasn't helpful for my son but it might work for others.  [/quote]
