[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why you're asking this question. I based my decision to start and continue with OT on a basic piece of knowledge that does not really require randomized controlled trials: physical skills can be taught, and kids respond best to good teachers. My son pretty clearly had some physical skills that he needed to learn -- balance, climbing, proprioception, basic fine motor stuff. And it was pretty clear that OT taught him those skills. The other stuff that's harder to see results on, I was more skeptical about . [/quote] I agree with this. Teaching specific skills works. The most clear example for us is tying shoelaces. My DD could not do it no matter what we tried, but the OT taught her. I don't think this helped her much with other fine motor skills. Each one must be individually taught.[/quote]
