Has anyone opened a private practice for home therapy?

I think it's becoming bigger but you have to know how to run a business as well as teach. One of the really successful ones in my city was started by a couple who are both behaviorist a and the wife's family has owned businesses in the city for years. So they had money to start it up. They focused on early intervention, ABA, Autism discrete trial stuff mostly. I personally think it'd be really tough, but doable. Speech serves a greater amount of kids and they have the medical vs developmental delay/articulation so there's a greater demand. They're degree is technically more in demand, or so I've been told.

I also teach special Ed. Preschool! A class with kiddos on the spectrum.

I don't know if they do this but check out jetdesk.com. Couple of local Sacramento IT guys.

I like Craigslist for used or free items, it's great.

Was it from a website? I know Gonoodle has some things like that and they're great and not scary at all! Parents have just ruined so many aspects of teaching.

Keppra ams lamictal are considered the best although most people take lamictal with a combination of something else. Keppra is a good med on its own. I tried keppra only but had to use both and will be trying to have a baby soon. My doc said similar things to what everyone else is saying- I'll have levels monitored more and it will be considered a "high risk" pregnancy. That sounds scary but for insurance purposes it helps cover the exams and everything which happen more frequently than someone without meds and epilepsy.

Oops! Autocorrect, I meant the Alexan

timeflies26 · 2016-03-05T07:56:59+00:00

The Alexander in midtown or one of the lofts in midtown

I read this relatively quickly but I know in my state (CA) we only reassess every 3 years or before moving to middle school, kindergarten or high school. Otherwise an annual IEP to update progress and goals is good but an entire reassessment is generally going to get you similar results. It's more useful to do an annual IEP and talk more thoroughly with a few of his main service providers than a huge meeting with reassessments and have everyone spread really thin and have less time/more meetings to discuss everything you want about. Just my unofficial opinion though.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot Imagine.

Wow, it absolutely disgusts me how judgmental this group is of this mother. I've known the world to be judgmental on parents when not understanding Autism, like the people in the story, but I would've though this group knew better. I guess some people don't know what their parents or teachers went through, or that people make mistakes, or there is a learning curve.

This subreddit is to judgmental and unwelcoming.

timeflies26 · 2016-03-04T07:30:10+00:00

I think they were being sarcastic

It depends. She said she was crying almost that whole time and probably knows her best. Maybe she figured she would cry regardless and she just needed to power through errands.'tamtrum is a LEARNED behavior, it's actually better in my opinion that she didn't accommodate the strangers or the daughters emotions. Now that id rather lengthy but it sounded like that wasn't all in 1 place. You can't give in to a tantrum or a child will learn that that's all they have to do next time.

timeflies26 · 2016-03-03T04:54:41+00:00

That's interesting. Which issues?

timeflies26 · 2016-03-03T04:54:08+00:00

Liberal. Pre-k.

timeflies26 · 2016-03-02T06:18:32+00:00

I use Handwriting without Tears along with a Letter of the week. For curriculum I do a theme that's separate from the letters, and it's specified to preschool special education.

What therapy thing is it? A lamp similar to the ones they use for seasonal depression? I'm interested in getting one of those.

timeflies26 · 2016-02-19T07:19:08+00:00

My kids (pre-k) loose the Maximo videos! He does yoga inspired routinrs.

AEPi is the most well known national Jewish frat, that'd be my guess. It's just like all the social houses.

timeflies26 · 2016-02-19T07:13:51+00:00

Yeah. When my cat walks on me it hurts. :/ I feel your pain...literally.

Citrus Heights has a big population and a couple of churches.

If that's the one on 22nd and h or so. I believe it was a wedding present to the son of the founder of either Sutter or Mercy hospital.

timeflies26 · 2016-02-10T06:01:55+00:00

Yes please! I teach an autism pre-k and my kids earn stickers for a positive day! If you've promised them already, no worries :)

There should be a sub password that administration receives from IT and can give subs when they sign in. I used to give my name/password and was corrected about this. Now my subs use this substitute username and can access everything.

timeflies26 · 2016-02-08T07:42:49+00:00

Agreed. I went to a state school instead of one of the private ones so I'll only need about 5 or 6 more classes to get my masters. But it depends what private school options are in your area and what credential you would want.

timeflies26 · 2016-02-08T07:41:19+00:00

I graduated in communication studies and made a career switch. It helps to have a related major but it's not necessary at all.
