My son has dyspraxia and has been going to speech and occupational therapy for the last three years at the same place. Well his speech therapist just called and said that they are closing their doors next friday. The company gave its employees and clients a weeks notice. I am totally still in shock. So, I need an idea for a cake to say thank you and good luck to everyone. I have to have it made by wednesday. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
THanks cindy. I think that I am going to do a FBCT of Little Suzy's Zoo growth chart and then going down the sides of it write: Thank you PSTS for helping me to grow! THen I thought I would do cookies of witzy(the little duck) blowing on a dadelion fluff and say something like Wishing you a fond farewell on the card to each of his therapists. Does that sound like a good plan?
This isn't really cake related, but it is for my son's speech therapist. I am thinking of making a little scrapbook for the one who was his original therapist. Can ya'll read it and tell me honestly if it sounds okay? Thank you. I have to have it done by wednesday when I bring the cake in.
When I was just a boy of 3, I came
to you when I could barely speak.
And with your help you saw me through, and gave me the tools I needed to communicate. The frustration I felt turned to joy and
I became a brand new boy.
Hooray, now I am 4, and I am learning so much more! I can finally say my Ks. I am no longer Hamden, but Kamden!
My speech is getting so much better and every week I learn more and more letters!
Boy am I big, I am a whoppin 5!
I get speech now twice a week.
Between You and Lisa I feel quite diversified! But lots of changes are in store for me. Lisa leaves and Deborah comes in. You are now just my friend, but Ill not forget what Ive been taught.
Look at me, I just turned 6!
And boy am I in an awful fix!
PSTS is closing its doors and I probably wont see that lady who calls me Sally anymore. It breaks my heart to say goodbye, but I will never forget all that youve done, because you have made my life an easier one.
Thank You!
Oh my gosh ... that poem is amazing!!!! I guarantee it will make all of the speech therapists cry!!! So touching!
Your poem is great, and I think that's a perfect idea for a cake!
Thanks ya'll I was getting all teary and cryin as I was writing. it. Next wednesday is going to be a tough day. He loves speech and asks everyday if he gets to go. I don't know how he is going to react to this change. It has been a hard year for him. *sniff* *sniff*
Thank you. When his current speech therapist called to let me know I thought she was going to tell me that Tricare denied his therapy. I had no idea he would be losing the whole therapy company. Who knew something like that could close in a week. I think the only other place like it is about an hour away or more. I feel like I am mourning the death of a good friend. That place has been a major part of our lives for the last almost three years. For awhile we were there three days a week. Wednesday is going to be really odd. Thanks for being here for me! 
My son was in speech therapy when he was 2. When it ended, he was so sad and missed his speech therapist. We have seen her around town a couple of times since, and it has totally made his day.
Even though she can't be his therapist anymore, it doesn't mean he can't see her ever again. Maybe you can arrange a lunch or visit a little down the road after he has gotten over the worst of the missing.
Oh those poor workers and kids, I feel so bad for them! The services places like this provide is really needed, how/why are they closing? and with such little notice?
my son has been in speech therapy since he was 2 and is now 5 and moving on to kindergarden soon from his special needs class. His teachers cried when they told me he was ready to move on 2 months ago. They are happy for him, but don't want to see him go in another sence. He starts kind. this fall and they are demanding that I bring him in to say Hi every month. He wants to go to kind. but just doesn't understand that his beloved teachers are not going to be there waiting for him. The relationships the kids and teachers form is amazing at times. They are such a strong and important part of each others lives and don't really notice until it comes to an end.
I'm sorry this is happening, I can't imagine what we would do in the same situation. The cake idea sound beautiful though and will be truly apreciated.
I have no idea why they are closing. I am guessing it is money related, but why they hired a new person last month from alaska (we live in washington) I have no idea. The speech therapist this is for lives in port ludlow. About an hour away. I will be asking some questions as where we can go next and what to do and what happened on Wednesday. Thank you all for your kind, caring responses. My son started kindergarten this year and hoo boy was that a challenge. His spec needs pre-school is in the same building and he really missed it. He is finally starting to be okay with being in kindergarten. December was horrible (he almost lost his Santa presents). January was better, now it is pretty good. I am hoping that your son has a smoother transition than mine did.
