I've only recently been introduced to oral motor therapy as having different

benefits that speech therapy. Do you, or anyone else out there, have the

name of someone good in the area? I called Center for general

info. Is it necessary to go there specifically?

Jacki- As you know, I do think you should go to for an

evaluation.

[Guest guest]

Jacki-

Yes, we see Lori Overland also, she really knows her stuff (she is even a

little more expensive than the other evaluators since she specializes in

autism.) We brought the speech therapist from Sawtelle to watch the

evaluation and to be taught the techniques (that was a total waste) but you

can also video tape to see exactly how to do the feeding etc at home. Since

couldn't make it to the eval she watched the tape with an SLP and that

combined with Lori's written plan helped her create a simple good oral motor

program for all our teachers to follow. You might want to ask Danny's speech

therapist from Valley to attend with you (if you go) so the plan can be

carried out in school too.

<< I only go to Sara for the evals. It is pricey for the initial

eval, but followups are $175.00 which isn't terrible. We see Lori Overland

when we go there. She's really familiar with austism (Sara does alot

of down syndrome, stroke, etc.). They are the best in oral motor evaluation

(IMHO). She also generates a very easy to follow implementation plan (I

think it was an additional $50 added to the initial visit, but I wouldn't

go there without getting it). This plan can be understood and followed by

any SLP so in the event your child moves or gets places in school, or a

situation occurs where you have to change SLP's, you've got a game plan.

It's also a good tool to have when requesting services from your Child Study

team. Many SLP's won't charge you an " initial eval " if you have an updated

Sara Report, so it may even save you some $$$'s.

Jackie I might be able to help you out . Where do you live and are you

looking for someone to come to your home or go to a center. How old is Danny.

Barb and :

Thanks for the advice about . I understand they have an

evaluator in Manhattan. Once I get an appt, I'll ask you for the therapist's

info.

By the way, is there a particular way to " disguise " any of these tests and/or

treatments to get HMO's (like MY Oxford) to pay for developmentally related

work?

:

Remember us: from Tenafly and Danny is almost 4.

I guess we'll try to pursue the route, as suggested. But let

me know if you have someone good who might work well with him before we get

an appt (is that advisable?).

Thanks.

Bridson from that office works one day a week in NYC which is easier to

get to. I also recommend these people.

Jacki Of course I remember you sometimes it's hard to put a face to a name on

E-mail . I will ask my speech therapist if she has any time . I would suggest

you go to and get evaluated though. I will see you at arts and

crafts Wednesday.
