Hi, I have been lucky enough to finally find a PROMPT trained therapist here in

Australia. When I asked here about her about having my little boy see her twice

a week, she told me that the PROMPT institute reccommends once a week? I found

this statement a little odd, as I know many of you have several sessions a week.

We are having one 45min session a week, and this will be changing to an hour a

little down the track, when my boy has become more comfortable with the 'idea'

of therapy.

What are your opinions on this. I am considering taking him also to a second

therapist for oral motor therapy. Would this help, being that I will probably

only be doing one PROMPT session a week - my boy is 24mths old.

> Hi Dana! My son has slowly stepped up from 1 day per week to 4 days per week,

and I can tell you the difference is night and day. We hired our SLP once he

aged out from EI services at 3 for 2 days per week. Ask what their cash price

is....it's normally cheaper than the insurance costs (ins for ours was $75 per

30 minutes, and cash is $50) Also, look into your local school system. They

age in after 3, and in my experience, offered similar services to what EI had

given him. Finally, check into Easter Seals, ish Rites, and local

universities offering SLP degrees. They help by doing a sliding fee scale.

Good luck!
