Quiver0f10 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I am curious as to what other SN students are receiving for therapy on a weekly basis? My son receives two hours a week of OT, ST, PT. I am thankful that the place he goes to is able to schedule his services back to back so he goes for 3 hours on Tuesday and Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2J112903 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 2hrs of OT weekly for now. We are trying to get his ST started for his CAPD but *wow* is the ST where we go booked solid and there are other children whom are non-verbal that are taking what slots she does have open. We do 40-60minutes of Therapuetic Listening 5 days/week as well. He does 20minutes of HWOT daily as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 DS started with ST twice per week x 30 min at school at age 3, plus PT 2x week at school x 30 min. At age 4 1/2, ST was discontinued and school discontinued PT, but we moved to PT 3x/week for 1.5 hours plus gymnastics (aquatic & swimming was included in the PT along with land therapy). At age 5 (start of Kindergarten) PT was cut back to 2x/week, with half-day kindergarten in session, just to keep his schedule from becoming overwhelming. We felt he needed to make progress and address his needs but still have time to be "just a kid." gymnastics continued. At age 6 (and start of first grade, still in public school at that point) formally supervised PT was cut back to 1x per week, and aquatics cut out of program, however swimming lessons added to gymnastics. At age 7, we went on 4 months sabbatical halfway across the country. Took PT into my own hands, using the "toolbox" our PT at home gave me, and felt we were very successful. He still has needs and issues, but it worked well. School out there provided support with 30 min PT 2x/week plus social and occupational support on the playground. 7 1/2 home again. Visited PT for screening, decided to opt for 100% home training, plus gymnastics and swimming. Home training with Mom includes daily PT exercises and stretching, some specialty equipment in use, but mostly common stuff (I am a martial arts instructor and fitness enthusiast, so common stuff may not be the same as everyone's definition) and a followup screening in 6 weeks to verify that we are making real progress on the currently presenting issues and to update the program. One more thing in our day to be responsible for, and yet, one less trip in the car! He does still have some of the speech, fine motor, and audiological issues as well. Following a consult with a neurocognitive educational specialist who specializes in XXY and autism disorders (Dr. Carole Samango-Sprouse) we adopted several programs we can follow at home, which seem to be helping him. Now that we're home-schooling, these can be a part of his school day and not tacked on at the end of his day when he's exhausted! Hooray! For those right now we are using Earobics, paying close attention to his reading progress in case he needs further reading interventions, and Handwriting Without Tears-- using cursive, as it is less frustrating than printing.

Dobela Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 DD receives 6 hours of therapy a week divided into 2 days of 3 hrs each. Until last August my ds also received 6 hours of therapy a week, in a different place than dd, and spread across 4 days. Now he receives none and I am so very thankful!
