My DS7 has been going to a development optometrist for about 1 year. When we started a year ago, the doctor estimated that DS would need about a years worth of therapy. For awhile, he was improving rapidly, but this last checkup, he had lost a lot of ground. This therapy is VERY expensive and my insurance does not cover it. I am beginning to question if it is worth the time and sacrifices our family is making to do it. Should I discontinue until DS is a little older? Is there a lower cost at-home program we could be doing? Should I just give in a do ADHD meds? Should I try the meds AND the therapy together, see if we get more consistent results. Sigh...... I feel so dejected right now. I work so hard to help this kid compensate for his issues, but it never seems to be quite enough. Now I am worried that I have been throwing away thousands of our hard earned dollars on a vain hope.
