The SI is dome by the OT. They did try to drop it in January when we did just a update of speech and OT> That is when the speech was dropped. They don't see that much difference in the SI but we see it here. And it does help him be more connected at school. I don't think that was much help. Sorry >> , I don't understand why they dropped the speech therapy. When Seth started pecs, not the objects but the pics, they INCREASED his speech to 5 times a week, one on one with the speech therapist. Wonder why they are just opposite?

All they know about is articulation. They have been working on JJ to say m, p, f for 4 years with no results. He is getting PECS and that is his communication. The speech people think he should vocalize to communcate. Problem here is to get quality teachers of any type you have to pay them. The lack of pay here is disgusting. You can go to the Bay Area and do much better. >> , Guess we are very fortunate. The speech therapist that Seth has is thrilled that he is using pecs. Guess she should really be known as a communications therapist. Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 I have been fighting ever since Trisha started school for more speech and yesterday when I dropped by Trisha's school to see how she was doing at her new school, her teacher asked me if (now get this) I minded if they gave Trisha speech everyday for 30 mins a day!!!!! Like I was going to say no. I am so thrilled! This move might just be the best thing that has happened for Trisha's education. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
