A reminder to the parents:
Make sure your child is working with licensed and properly trained therapists. Therapy should be individualized and discipline-specific — not OT, Speech, and SPED all done at the same time in one session. SPED teachers should not provide Occupational Therapy or Speech Therapy unless they are licensed.
Most importantly, there should be no rushed or fixed timeframe for progress. 3 months? 6 months? No such thing. Every child develops at their own pace 💕
Make sure you are paying for the right services your child truly deserves 🤗
Some centers may advertise that they target OT, speech, and SpEd goals in one session, but this should alarm you, not attract you. 🙈
There is no such thing as 3-in-1 therapy sessions because unlike coffee ☕️ , children’s neurodivergent minds are complex that it’s impossible to target all of these aspects by just one person.
Don’t let other people take advantage of the fact that there are limited professionals in your area. Remember:
1. Therapists and teachers should be graduates of 4- to 5- year courses and therapists should be PRC licensed. Ask your service providers if they have these.
2. An OT is different from a speech pathologist, which is also different from a SpEd tutor. They target different areas to improve the quality of life of your kids.
3. There is really a long wait list, so once you get a slot, make sure that you take that opportunity and make the most of it.
4. Don’t be afraid to ask your therapist questions about your child. If you have legitimate therapists, you should feel empowered to ask them questions, and feel confident that they will answer you accordingly. ♥️
