in home therapy

Post Reply New Topic

I've seen it on tv so it must be true, are there such a thing as in-home therapist that will work with your Aspergers kids from the comfort of his home?

Yes! It's through case management. Since my husband and I are both on the spectrum, and two of our four kids are, we have several meetings in the home. If you are in the US, you can look at different case management programs. We have a family counselor that comes to the house and we go to her office sometimes, a case worker that goes to school with my son, or if he's home, she comes here. My two children go to an aspergers social group each week. We have a family support therapist that comes to our house every week, and then a case manager that comes over every other week. Then my son has attendant care where they take him out into the community three times a week. And that's all on top of what they do for them at school so I recommend case management.

Most OTs and SLPs will meet in your home. Some that even have centre based programs will have therapists that will come to your home. Awesome eh? We love it!

We are really new to this only been dealing with it since March. What do you mean by OTs and SLPs? OT meaning occupational therapy?
