Gift for my DS' SLP - we are ending services with her

My DS has been getting speech from a wonderful woman for the past 2 years. I knew her prior to this bc she worked with my DD for a year in the past. I've have generally give her $20 GC at holidays and $20 GC at end of school year. In 2 weeks we will be ending with her for good and utilizing a new SLP who specializes in PROMPT therapy. What would you give as an end of services gift? She's really terrific, seriously almost like a friend or family member.

TIA

We also just ending almost all our home services as DD is starting school in July. For our speech and OT (both have been with us for 6 months) I got them a $25 DD gift certificate. Her special ed therapist has been with us for 2 years 5 days a week, so we spent a little more. I got her a necklace and bracelet from Brighton's. I think it was about $100 ish.

I have been trying to thinkk of something too. Noahs SLP is ending in August after 2+ years of 2x's a week, this girl is like family, helped me a few times during my PG with the twins when I was sick during a session, I mean just a great person and Our Famly trainer who we have seen every week for 2 years.

I was thinking og getting the SLP a $50 Dunkin Donuts card as she lives there, but wanted to get something more personal.

Looking for suggestions and if I think of any , will post.

i'm going to get his ot a $50 visa gift card she's been with him a few months (he's actually had 3 ot's and she's the only one who did what he needs.) the pt has been with him longer maybe 1 1/2 yrs. and he also started working with my younger ds so i will get him a $75 visa gc. his slp is beyond amazing and is like family now. she is literally holding off moving out of state to be with her fiance until ds services end! she insisted on watching my ds so dh and i could have a night out, stays to just talk and hang out, bring food she thinks both boys would like. she is soooo good with both boys and has made all the hard oral motor work possible bc she is beyond motivating for my ds. i want to get her something special but i'm not sure what. i will def. include a $100 gift card and have ds make her a card and craft project but i don't know what gift to give.
i do however know that i will be broke by september!

As an EI therapist, I love getting a nice card with a thoughtful note and photo of the child. I keep all of them and reread them often.

Re: Gift for my DS' SLP - we are ending services with her

we're ending services next month...between 4 therapists I'm also going to be broke. 2 of them have been with DS for over a year and 2 for a short time. I'm probably going to do GC's for the two more recent ones ($25 each) and then maybe a $50-$75 for his SLP and $100 for his DI therapist and maybe even a nice gift too. She is the one who has gotten me through the last year and a half. I don't even know how I could thank her enough.
