I just received the “bill” from early intervention (thank you state of Illinois, for covering this…)
$175/hr for speech therapy
$140/hr for occupation therpay.
I made roughly $20/hr to teach the future of America.
Damn, did I pick the WRONG profession.
I’ve witnessed these therapy sessions for the better part of the past few months.
Here’s how they typically go:
Moose cries.
Said therapist chases him around with educational toys and attempts play.
They blow bubbles.
Sing songs.
Moose cries more.
Said therapist chaes him around some more.
You can try this at home! I don’t mean to diminish the importance of therapy, but it seems like a lot of bubble blowing lately.
Basically, the same shit I do when I don’t have the Monkey attached to the teet and a pile of laundry that resembles Mt. Everest.
A few months in, and my 28 month old still isn’t talking.
Sigh.
What the hell else can I do???
Frustrating!!
