[QUOTE="buddy, post: 539319, member: 12886"] I ask the specific therapist to call for "a few questions " before I even let q meet them. I straight up tell them it's hard for q to change so let me know now if you think x, y z issues are too hard for you. Sometimes the receptionists can on the qt tell you which therapist she sees work with kids who are like mine. I also ask the therapists where they've worked before and with what kinds of diagnosis. Most therapists do develop areas of expertise even if licensed to practice generally. I would not take a voice therapy case beyond something basic because I haven't done that for 20 years. No one can honestly know about every issue and really do justice in all areas. Docs and therapists may be OK at alot but I'd rather be great in certain areas. I'd rather truly be able to make a difference. So I think it's good to ask when the last time they worked with the issue you need help with ( ...or the diagnosis. or age or whatever you need ...in your case an adult with asperger's). I got Q's therapist this way and she really does do well with talking abt his issues but using Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) teaching and visual supports etc. The style is so different. Very direct and use of a schedule etc. They also do social games and practice. My son's pediatric clinic lists areas of interest along side of their specialty certificates. That would be helpful everywhere. Good luck !:D [/QUOTE]
