Girl I have lived this nightmare, well part of it anyway. I'm sorry. You know how I feel about that school. However, the truth is, and I have learned this the hard way...as far as the school's involvement; if it does not effect the child academically they will NOT render services. Nathan is receiving OT at school only because he was already in speech, so it wasn't an issue to add those services. However, when I finally get a response from the therapist there, it's always "he's fine." I also learned they are not working on ANY sensory therapy that does not relate to school work. As an example, they will only do things to help him with his writing, coloring, etc. Things like that. He doesn't really need therapy for those things. They don't get the sandbox and work on tactile sensory issues. So, my pediatrician says the type of services offered through school are not exactly the complete picture of what a child may need. If he really needs intervention you probably are going to have to seek it elsewhere. I have done just that. However, I am now on my own. Long story, I'll spare you. Or fill you in another time. Our insurance covered zilch of the cost. I can tell you there are some places that will work with you on the money part.

Can I just say, all that stuff Eli can do at age 3 is amazing!!! I think I should go right now, wake up Joseph and make him get to work!!! JJ (but a little serious)
