[tri-med] Re: Caroline's PT update

not sure how you get the word out to other parents but i would stop having 
her come.  ormaybe you could ask for another therapy instead, like ot for 
switch use or speech for feeding or oral sensitivities?  it is not worth the 
time or the hassle of having someone in your house if they are not helping 
your child.

it sounds like she is not a real pediatric pt.  did you ever ask the agency 
about her qualifications?  i found goal setting was important to push the ei 
folks.
just my opinion.
