Okay, so i will try to make this as short as possible
Dcb 2.5y
Some developmental delays
Have been keeping him since he was 13m
Major speech delays
Speech therapist (or rather the assistant) comes once a week been coming for 6 months
Completed 6month review today
Yesterday dcb had regular therapy session. He was upset, crying, only wanted to be held.
Therapist doesnt want me to hold him, wants to seperate from group to calm him so they can do session. Goes to kitchen, dcb stops crying.......hmmm, i go to check on him, she is holding him. Go back to dc room, couple of minutes pass......t.v. Comes on. Holds him the entire session, gets ready to leave but dcb gets upset again about something, therapist wants to teach me a tecnique i should use to calm boy.
Straps child in his boster seat in kitchen, insists we stand in living room until he calms down, cries, cries, cries, screams, hits table, proceeds to gag himself, after about 5 min i am fed up, i want him out, i want him to stop crying, that is just not my style, i hold and i baby, that is just me.
Therapist insists that i let him calm himself down, i state that licensing rules are that you may only put a 2 year old in time out for 2 minutes. Well she syas that what she is doing is not time out, its just a cool down zone.........okay, well time out here is cool down time.........strapped to a chair really?? Am i the only one that finds this completely wrong.
Proceeds for about 20 min. Ive had it, inside im boiling, i understand what she is trying to do but i dont want to be a part of it, i state that i dont like it, i dont believe in it, and it will not be done in my home, that the parents shoud partake in any type of discipline of that kind, i just wont do it and remove the child from the chair.
Informed mom at pick up. She didnt like the method either,
Therapist and actual speech therapist here today, i stated my concerns, she still insists it is not time out, real speech therapist had no comment, therapist brougt paperwork about tecnique used as promised that she would, also gave paperwork to parents. She claims that it is done in our school district, preschool teachers do it...........WOW, SERIOUSLY! Errrr.
