If you want someone that doesn't want to work with your child in a way that they learn and you want them to yank your child around, do paperwork during your child's sessions, scold and give your other children dirty looks, make you uncomfortable when they call you into their office when you simply signed the thumbs-up (from the glass observance window) in a way to ask if everything was good, give you a bunch of attitude when you ask what goals she is working on and she relays none (4th session) and you've been waiting for a copy of the goals for a month, questions what school your child is going to and not believing you because you had to miss a Friday appt because you no longer have them off, not get back to you promptly to reschedule an appointment, not be understanding when your child is sick..then this is the place for you!
Previous to this woman quitting on my son I could sense that she was angry towards me. It was all over her body language and facial expressions. Why, I was uncertain. I asked her if there was something she wanted to talk about because I could feel the tension. She told me no but I was not convinced. I believe this all stemmed from my asking if she could allow my son freedom to move about the room rather than force him to sit at a table. Although he did interact with her more by being able to move around and she stated this, I felt that she was mad about being on the floor and following him around. Lazy. Eventually she just let him do whatever he wanted and she had no control over the session. She went over and grabbed her paperwork and criss cross applesauce on the floor and was in her own little world doing paperwork during his therapy time. After several minutes of her doing paperwork and not paying any attention to my son I asked if she was done working with him she flipped her top. She told me that she was done and it wasn't going to work out. I told her I'm sorry that she felt that way. I was tired, I was exhausted, and I didn't want to argue with an adult sized temper tantrum baby especially in front of my children. So I packed up and started out the door. She said your mad about the make up time. I told her no, I simply wanted to schedule the make up hour when she had an available spot. Then she added that she didn't feel that I trusted her with my son. That was just something to make her feel better. If I didn't trust her with my son we wouldn't have been there in the first place and we would have been the one to quit, not her... but due to her lack of professionalism that day I would have eventually found better help for my child. She's also contracted with DDD and since she quit on my son I went ahead and let DDD know. I'm sure she had some answering to do. It's very disappointing as a parent when you're seeking the best help for your non-verbal child and it ends up like this.
No goals.
No patience.
Lazy.
Only in the business for money. read more
