How do I fit all of his therapies in??

My grandson had his speech evaluation this afternoon and the therapist has recommended that he have therapy twice a week. I was wanting to hear from people that receive multiple therapies and how they find time to have all of the therapies done. He gets Occupational, Physical of and Developmental therapy one time weekly and now speech twice a week. Right now they are all coming on different days but that will put someone here every day of the week. Don't get me wrong, I will do what I have to do to help my grandson but wondered if anyone else had all of these services and how do they schedule their visits. Do you have multiple therapies in one day or do they tend to like to come seperate days? It just makes it hard to schedule anything with the way they are coming now.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I schedule Dr. appointments around therapy and then it gets frustrating when they are late or do not show up.
If I had one day that I could have O.T. and D.T. on the same day it would free up 1 day during the week............ just a thought
Speech therapy during play and use the z-vibe and tip before every meal that helps him feel his muscles in his mouth
The brushing as showed to you by an O.T. after breakfast, maybe once throughout the day, and after dinner...
If you get swings in a room, he can go on those during play and he'll prob. want to start going to use them at certain times.
These are just a couple examples that really give alot of input, and can be done as you can see throughout the day, not just having the appts. So it can be greater benefit as well when you can take these appts. and do them scattergorized throughout the day as part of a routine. I hope this helps.
