"Most of the speech therapy and OT becomes 'indirect' therapy rather than one on one interactions, and the high caseloads carried by most PT/OT/Speech people who work for the school district makes it impossible to do more than the most cursory, "Well, he's not talking but he DOES have DS..." " -- I think this very much depends on where you are, and the district. This does not at all apply where we are, but then, we're very grateful for and very aware that we're lucky to have such an awesome district, and that we're in NY which has fantastic laws/guidelines for services. Just over the border in CT and we'd have almost nothing.
