Hours in one-on-one versus hours in School

[Guest guest]

How do you decide the optimal mix of school versus home therapy? My

son will be 4 in October, and is entering a typical preschool with an

aide in September. The question is, should we put him in for 3 days

a week or more. He has been receiving DTT for 1 year, and VB for a

little over a month, with 5 hours in a preschool disabled program.

His verbal skills are exploding, but we still see deficits in social

skills and attending. Play and self help are OK (just potty

trained :-)). How do I know we can safely take the one-to-one hours

down?

My own oppinion is that the best way for a child to improve his social

skills is being among 'normal' environment and work on it. May be he should

be confused at the begining woth lees structured routines and games...but

later he should be in the normal world. Of course, always watching at his

needs.

Just my cents
