HELP! OT MOMS

Hi all,

My DS just starting going to OT 2x per week and has been seeing two different therapist (1 on Monday's and a different therapist on Wednesday's... but the same therapists week over week). We are new to this and I'm not sure how I feel about him seeing two different people. We started late, so there wasn't much availability when given choices.

Should I move him to a new facility where he'll be seen by the same therapist or leave him (since he does seem happy)? I just want to try to get the most out of the therapy since we started so late in the school year. UGH! So confused.

OT's are hard to come by, especially starting late in the year. I think you always want one person - that is ideal. But I think as long as I liked both and they are on the same page with what he is doing - I would be ok with it.

If you love them then maybe stick it out but if you can find someone to do both I think that might be more effective.

Hi! As a mom, I think I'd probably prefer 1 - however, I'm also an OT. There is an upside to having 2! There are two sets of eyes seeing your child, different activities and treatment techniques, etc. Hopefully they can collaborate a little. It can be beneficial! I think it's fine either way. HTH!
