How much do you pay?
How many times a week does your DC have ST?
How long has/will your DC be in ST?

DS starts speech therapy in the fall. The therapist is tied to his school. It's not EI though. It's private pay fee for service (county said DS didn't need ST so instead of paying lawyers to fight the county for services, we spent the $$ on private school and private pay therapies). They want him to do 2x/week. The fee is $130/session. You MUST pay in 3 installments of $2,900 for the year. We asked for 1x a week and they feel it's not enough (due to DS's issues and the fact they have to spend more time reteaching each session from the session prior). Our insurance does not cover this. I feel this is high. However, my only option is to not work (or pay someone to pick up DS from school) drive him to a different ST and back--thereby taking him out of about 3-4 hours of school a week.

I'm just trying to get a handle on whether we are WAY overpaying for ST services.
