Karen in CO Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The first place doesn't assign homework? I thought the daily practice was important to make steady progress. I've only had one session of VT plus 3 days of homework so I am firmly new at all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Avoid the computer stuff. It has its time and place, but it shouldn't be the bulk of therapy. We tried doing computer stuff for six months while we saved up to do in-office therapy....it was not effective. Daily home practice is key.

PeterPan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I pretty much ruled out the computer one. I am calling around. I did find a doctor who actually does the therapy for not less than the quote that I had. But he thinks 6 months. Is a year simply too long to ballpark from the start? Look, NOBODY can give you a quote over the phone. Your dc has retained primitive reflexes (from what you said). I think there are some other diagnoses that are going on there too where you're just not catching all the terms. So the first doc who told you a year has actually SEEN your kid, worked with him, and, knowing his approach, gave you a quote. Another doctor will have a totally different approach. I don't think at this point you even realize HOW different these docs could be. It's not like you're comparing apples to apples. You could like the first doc, try a new one, and realize he doesn't have nearly the same approach, meaning you're unhappy. I wouldn't change when you're happy with the first one and his knowledge in meeting your dc's needs. To me, when I read your response to me in the other thread, my take was that you listed a whole bunch more things than you listed initially. Initially you only mentioned convergence insufficiency. Now you're throwing in retained primitive reflexes (which themselves can take quite a while to integrate, and then you have to build on those) AND some other labels you don't seem to have the correct names for. So MY two cents and what I would do in your shoes is stick with the guy you've got *because he's certified* and *because he's giving you a realistic quote for the expanded list of what is going on*. I think what he's doing is being straight with you. What I would be *leery* of is paying a ton of money upfront. As long as you don't do that, I think you're going to be ok. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
