This post in Special Education Adviser is extremely important when interviewing a therapist (Occupational, Speech, Physical and Developmental). The one therapy that the requirements aren't as stringent is Developmental as this is play based therapy. I would say if you have a DT make sure they know and understand Dr. Stanley Greenspan play methods especially if they have speech challenges - we still use many of his strategies today with our non-verbal Apraxic child. Please take a look and if you know of someone who is in the process of interviewing therapists send them this information.
