I know you take on the role of a therapy mom often. It is very individual to your child, family and yourself. There is no one size that fits all as a therapy mom. It may be serving...
1. Chief researcher about your child's diagnosis and the needs S/he has. This is a major part of a therapy mom's role.
2. Developing your child's team. Finding the "right" people to work with your child is a full time job. There are new issues that arise and others who are unavailable to continue in their current role on the team. There is a constant need to find and secure people on your child's team.
3. There is homework from therapy sessions to do with the child. It takes time and effort to follow through.
4. There are supplies to buy and/or make for home programs.
5. There are therapy appointments and collaboration to do with professions who work with your child. On the other side, you may be training others how to work with your child. Especially with child care providers.
Yes, you are a therapy mom! It is a hard job but very essential. I salute you! It is making such a difference in your child's life!
