Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Harper’s intensives did amazing things for my son. If you can afford to do it, do it. I only gave it up because of cost. My son participated in group intensives with a personal coach. We did it three times. First one was 8 weeks 3 hours a day and the second two were 6 weeks 3 hours a day. The first time he leaped by 2.5 years, the 2nd time by 1.3 years, and the 3rd time about 2 years. Honestly, it is one of the only therapies that I saw notable progress and we tried many. I wish I could afford to go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hey group. Yes you are right Mrs. Harper is amazing. Though she has also taught others in the field. If you can't afford her and would like to receive services which use her approach. Then I highly recommend asking her office to direct you to other therapist who have taken her coarse. I'm a therapist and a mom with a kid on the spectrum. Which makes me see both points of view. You want the best for your child but because of circumstances sometimes that isn't a reality. Though you shouldn't give up on getting services for your child. Best of luck aka enzos momConnected by MOTOBLUR™ on T-Mobile Re: Harper, OT Harper’s intensives did amazing things for myson.
