And she still needs speech therapy for eating. Our school system picks up after EI, but feeding/eating isn't a qualifier. So no more help there.
We've also been in speech therapy 2 years next month. She is just now BARELY starting to chew a little bit. We still have so far to go and I'm tired. I feel like a bad mom because i came home from therapy last night and told DH that I just almost want to quit going. She needs to keep going, but I'm almost defeated.
I asked her therapist about an intensive program (which would mean out of state) and she was almost offended and greatly discouraged us from persuing it. She said "take a bite / get a reward" isn't realistic or real life.
It didn't help that now her therapist has us in a group therapy right now and when that is over we'll switch back to individual. However, we'll share the time slot and only go every-other week. And last week one of the therapists helping with the group got on me about "being positive at home and not saying commands" like "DD you can take a bite" vs "Take a bite, DD"
DH is going to take her next week and let me have a break, but I feel like such a bad mom right now.
Sorry for the vent, I know I haven't posted here in a long time.
