[QUOTE="SRL, post: 52543, member: 701"] Ideally you should be sitting in on the sessions learning what the Occupational Therapist (OT) is doing so you can be supplementing at home. A good Occupational Therapist (OT) will help you set up a home program. I way paying $132 a session out of pocket for awhile there--that money can go a long way in setting up a gym area in your house and purchasing supplies and equipment for motor and sensory activities. I'm not saying a skilled Occupational Therapist (OT) isn't needed but the goal should be to work towards less dependence on the Occupational Therapist (OT) and more on the home and child. Sometimes children and families need therapy breaks or to reduce therapy minutes. Each family is different--I know of kids who made major progress in speech during the summer but my kiddo always needed a break. Do what's right for you but if you do take a break be sure and keep it up at home so as to not lose ground. [/QUOTE]
