[QUOTE="crazym&p, post: 410613, member: 11277"] Thanks for the support. I have The Out of Sync Child Has Fun - I'm actually a developmental therapist for kids under 3. I carry out Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, and ST treatment plans for a living. We have done brushing therapy with joint compression, a weighted vest, a crash pad/sensory space. My boss is actually the expert on Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) in our region :) Unfortunately, our insurance plan does not cover Occupational Therapist (OT), and we are financially tapped right now from difficult child 1 in a PH program. I feel so guilty not having the resources to "fix" everything at one time. The local school system is not an option for Occupational Therapist (OT) - I know this because I also do volunteer work as an educational advocate. We have one Occupational Therapist (OT) in our county - she's not even trained in sensory techniques. She doesn't even have peds certification. It's ridiculous - don't even get me started on the ST and PT in our county. So it's private pay if it's anything. We have been "making do" for years with my knowledge from work and informal consults with my co-workers. I'm really interested in TEC and can't wait to read it. The reviews I've read appealed to me because it seems to acknowledge the fact that traditional behavior plans do not work for my kids. If one more person tells me to do a sticker chart or behavioral contract I may hurt them. Did they think I didn't try that? My second / part time job is as an in-home counselor for CPS. I help people solve these problems all of the time. Which makes it that much more embarrassing that I can't get my own children settled. It makes me question everything - my parenting skills, my professional knowledge. Yet I'm well known for being the go-to counselor for behavioral counseling. So I can't be completely wrong in what I'm doing. It's just not working with my children. I feel completely inept in my home. Sorry for the impromptu rant...it happens a lot these days. Another reason I'm glad to have found people who have been there done that. [/QUOTE]
