[quote=Anonymous]I'm thinking of stopping OT now 2x/wk and instead doing Fitness for Health 2-3x wk.

My son is going to turn 5 and has Aspergers, low tone, gross/fine and motor planning issues.

We've been doing OT for about 4 months and while I want him to work on the gross/fine motor and planning issues.  I don't understand all the other stuff like "he is a sensory seeker" and stopping his stims (he jumps up and down when he gets excited, likes to run in circles).  His stims don't seem to affect his life - he does it occasionally and only at home:  No stimming at school.  Has no behavior issues at school, no problems with transitions and does not have meltdowns/temper tantrums at home or school:  No SPD issues.   He has an IEP at school which addresses his social deficits and fine/gross motor issues.

DS really enjoys his OT session however but I find all the sensory stuff a turn off probably b/c I have no idea what is meant by "sensory issues".  It sounds like from doing a search on this board that doing Fitness for Health may be what we're looking for and less expensive than OT.  Can anyone who's done both OT and Fitness for Health comment.  TIA.[/quote]
