So the Play therapist didn't work out!

I went in for an interview without Harry. It turns out she does not help special needs children? Which was kind of puzzling as Harry is not "labeled" as special Needs, just quirky! So not sure why normal happy children would go see her.
But anyway, it really sounded like a bunch of hooey! She would sit and play with the children in the corner of her small office. One small box of toys some coloring in books and Hi Ho cherio is what consisted of her play area. All she would do is observe and make factual comments based on what they are doing. Other than that no communication. Its a little strange if you ask me. But hey I'm not the professional here.

On a positive note I did tell her quite a bit about Harry and what we have been through so far on our quest for help. She was totally appalled by Children's for not having him tested further or at least seen by a Dr.

She was positive and very encouraging of me and the hardships a mom goes through, she herself has a son with ADD. So all in all, yes it was a waste of time for Harry and any progression there. But for me it was a very therapeutic session for me to keep me going on my quest!

One thing she did say was that because a Nurse Practitioner had refered Harry to be seen at Childrens, that that may be why we were seen by a ANP rather than a Dr. Very frustrating.
