If someone comes and works in your house and you are paying them you can request from them to dress a certain way. If someone were to work in a Jewish school there also certain expectation.
If you go to someone's office , where they are working for the general public. you have no say and it would be rude.
The only thing you can do is go to a man therapist.

Id any day prefer sleeveless dress over my childs therapist showing up in her snood this week. I thought that was rude and disrespectful.

Seriously??? No one is allowed to wear anything other than a sheital anymore?
Sometimes it's raining outside, your sheital needs to be set, you are doing a lot of physical activity, etc. etc. Who do you do think you are to be so judgmental over here that she can't be comfortable while she works?

My kid's therapist used to come with a snood only. Who cares? In fact, I appreciate it, cuz she wanted to be comfortable to do the best at work.

Big deal.

I work in a professional setting. We have a dress code that specifies "professional" clothes. The shirt Marina posted or the ones Mrs. Obama wears are examples of acceptable tops. Tank tops or anything with spaghetti straps are not.

And some people don't even hold sheitals to be halachically acceptable and wouldn't wear one ever.

They're ARMS. I would not be bothered in your shoes. It's important for our children to understand that our world is diverse - a Gentile woman doesn't need to cover her arms the way some of us might choose to do as Jewish women.

I just wanna know what part of the child was backwards. His shirt, maybe?

"Wayward" perhaps.

The snood is inappropriate? Ugh, comments/opinions like this make me regret becoming frum. As a special needs mom, be grateful your child is receiving the services he needs. Focus on helping your child, not worrying about bare arms or snoods.

The frum world is half inspirational, half pathetic.

some places do have a dress code - my niece wears scrubs at the school she works in - they are also told not to wear heels
