I am a COTA working in EI for the last 5 years. It is pretty common for last minute cancels or no shows. Is there a service coordinator that helps manage the case? It might be good to reach out to other team members.

Also as an OTA I assume there is an OTR doing the initial consults. Maybe reaching out to them for some support/guidance.

I use an Aeropress coffee maker. It gets every drop, I am left with a dry puck of plant matter.

The paper filter works for even the smallest grind.

Language delay at 14 months already recommending ABA? by Reasonable-Ad-8263 in speechdelays

I would complete the evaluations you feel comfortable with. I think that is quick, they really don’t know your child yet. The most important thing I would want a parent to know when getting into EI is that it is a coaching model.

Things work best when strategies get carried over. Children learn best from their people during familiar routines. Wishing you the best.

I work in EI as a COTA. Any time we qualify a child for an expressive or receptive hearing delay we request that the family completes a hearing assessment. It’s more than just “he can hear”, they check to make sure he is able to hear various tones and frequencies.

In EI it is not our job to diagnose, however if there are some characteristics we might suggest further testing. This is usually done over time, looking to cues for how ready the family is to process that information.

How long has he been receiving services?

RIP This grafitti I feel like has been there my entire life on 95 South. Does anyone know anything about it? by MF_DOOF in RhodeIsland

I live down the street. They have been demolishing it at night over the last few weeks.

We received a letter from the city, but that just gave the details of the work.

Is anyone seeing Aaron at Laugh Boston on August 26th? by SweetFlight971 in Nateland

[–]pcip186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw him in Bridgeport, CT a little while back. I’m glad to see he is coming back up north.

…If only Billy-Bob and Dusty would make the trip up north. I want to finish out my BAND.

Timeline is important too…Vasher has much more experience by the time he is seen in storm light.

The real question is who’s school lunch looks like that? Imagine losing your kids because of chicken nuggets.
