[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 528487, member: 7170"] I think husband may be on to something if Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) not making any progress. I'm wondering if the Occupational Therapist (OT) and playtherapy are separate or if the school trying to blend them together the way they tried with-my 15yo R. Here they graduate from early intervention to pre primary impaired at 3yo; the only difference is parents participate every session in early intervention and parents take turns helping out with PPI. Both groups went kind of same way a little free play, circle/welcome, story/lesson, snack/meal, circle time, free play. EI - an hour and a half; PPI 3 hours - they kept trying to pull R out of the class to do Occupational Therapist (OT), PT & Speech Language Pathologist (SLP); I was glad I was participating so could squash that from the start. It would break the rhythm of the whole group not just R when they would pull R out of middle of class, for that reason I would have her "stay after" for her individualized services. The most helpful for R of the whole thing was free play and circle time. Free play can you imagine me & teacher doing a high 5 to each other when R yelled "no me first" and shoved a kid cutting in line for the slide - we had been trying to get that kid to speak for over a year. Didn't matter that she didn't sing ABC song in circle time while teacher pointed at the letters she still learned to recognize them (though she probably saw them different then us - R has dyslexia). As far as the speaking part went with her she didn't have autism she needed to feel strongly enough about something to have anything to say. Had it not been for free play we wouldn't have known to make her mad to get her to talk. I guess to answer your question on if should put Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) on back burner for now would be dependent on how answer question - is it interfering with the other things you are doing?
