[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502070, member: 12886"] Unless I am missing something, a "therapist" of this sort does not meet the educational requirements of a therapist that V needs. He needs a trained communication disorder professional, a therapist who has specifically been trained to work with people who have social interaction needs based on neurological conditions (and I HAVE met social workers and psychs who chose that as their area of expertise!) so I think the interview is a good thing. You need to know if she has worked with kids who have (just say autism because if she can do that, she can work with V) developmental delays in the areas of communication. Are there any private speech/lang and Occupational Therapist (OT) clinics that will take him on? Look to see if there are any children's habilitation/rehabilitation clinics around you that have therapists...sometimes they work in social skills teams. You might get a psychologist thru that. Q just for the first time is starting some psychology/therapy type of work and that is due to the effects of being disabled on his emotions, but not specifically to work on a behavioral program. For that we use the psychology/behavioral agency that specifically works with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and autism clients...Q is one of their two who have both..... so hey do not simply do the parent ed type of stuff. Where are you getting the referrals for therapies? Can you call any of the schools around you, ask to talk to the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) who works there, and explain you are just wondering where her kids with social communication delays get private therapy. he/she does not have to be working with V to know where other kids get therapy.... just a thought.
