[QUOTE="SRL, post: 176043, member: 701"] A lot of therapy for preschool aged children is based on play so that is not a concern to me. Typically a speech therapist will work the therapy into play time. Play is kids work and it's good for a therapist to meet him where he is instead of parking him at a table and expect him to churn out XYZ for 30 minutes. Now if 8 sessions from now it's all play and no speech that would be of concern. If she wrote rule out Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) on his chart that may be a notation for her to address Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in future appts. Did you print off the screening tool showing possible modertate Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) and show it to her? If so, and she ruled it out there on the spot, or refused to look more closely, I'd be shopping for a new diagnostician. Most moms and dads are at odds with each other at this point. If what you were doing discipline=wise hasn't worked by now it's not going to work. Can you get him to read The Explosive Child? I told my husband he either needed to read it or follow my lead. When he saw it starting to work he did a little of both and got on board. If you haven't already, this would be a good time for you to contact your local public school district to see if he qualifies for special education preschool. Usually they do a wonderful job and the speech and occupational therapy and behavioral work is built right into the preschool work. Assessments--and if he qualifies--transportation, school, and services would all be free. If you plan to send him to private preschool then yes, I think you should tell them so they can observe him closely for you and so they aren't caught off guard. [/QUOTE]
