i have found that there are many people who would continue to benefit from speech therapy that are no longer in speech therapy... and i was wondering why?

dont want it?
insurance wont cover it?
cant afford it out of pocket?
cant get to it in terms of transportation?
last speech therapist had something to do with it (bad experience or discharged saying you "hit a plateau".
some other reason???

just wanting to get the true scoop rather than assuming... thanks for sharing :)

" hello, I just joined. how long have u been here?? whats the short version of why your here? you can read mine on my profile, if u like. Not sure what to think about speech therapy and if it does help or not? I was not all that impressed teh 1 2 times i was there with my Mom. However, I did stumble upon a on line learning program specificlly for needs of speech therapy, words association-identification , grammer, and basics. Anyway, My mother is being introduced to it and has done few programs and being helped by my sis. so far, so good!! it has feww download trial too. ok, i decided i needed a place to vent or read stories and see what other positive succesful therapys helped?! i was gonna read up on yoga to see if any benifits for my mother!! my feeling is yes...hope to hear from ya, Sassy "
