[quote=Anonymous]OT was the first step on our SNs journey. I can't tell you if there were measureable, quantifiable benefits. I do know that the OT we worked with had a lot of experience with kids like DD and I learned as much about working with her as she may have learned about regulating her senses. It was a tremendously helpful introduction to parenting differently abled kids.

Our OT also had lots of good advice about next steps on the journey and was able to guide us to a good therapist to address anxiety and interacted with DDs physicians about her observations. (There is a medical diagnosis related to the delays and processing issues.)

For various reasons, my DD found OT very regulating. Perhaps it was the one on one time with the therapist, or the physical activity, or being with an adult who truly understood that much of her behavior was out of her control moreso than the OT exercises themselves. I don't know.

My suggestion is try it. Set a realistic time limit for re-evaluating and if it's helpful, keep doing it. If it's not, move on to something else.[/quote]
