Re: Seeking Private Prompt-certified speech therapist in NYC

[Guest guest]

I live in NY, but not in the city, so cant really help with the private. NY is

known for its good services, even in CPSE. You may not need a lawyer to get 1x

more at school! If he has not had an eval in a while, he may qualify for one

more session based on an eval. Have you taken him to a Dev Ped or Ped

Neurologist for an official diagnosis? Only a medical doctor can diagnose

apraxia in NY. If you give the SD a letter from a doctor recommending more,

they'd try to comply, assuming another session would fit in his day. Is he in

full day prek?

I'm running all over and the girls are feeling it - and they need some attention

and they are based downtown which would mean yet more travel.

Lori,

You can try this therapist: 

http://www.therapistratingz.com/ratings/22571/Therapist--Olsen.html

She is in Long Island, but she is a trainer of the technique and may know of

other therapists in your area.

Hope this helps!
