Re: Frazier heads to PT

[Guest guest]

Eileen,

Sounds like my PT! I am moving shortly and I plan to contact an

Early intervantion program there and find someone who knows what he

is doing!

You should try to make Chat Night! If nothing else, feedback is a

LOT faster than waiting for responses to posts, and it's nice to talk

to other people in similar situations to ours. Good luck in yopur

search for a decent PT.
