[quote=Anonymous]Our child has ADHD and did OT at age 8, wish we had done it sooner. It helped with sensory issues a moderate amount (DC does now not throw a tantrum when they hear a loud sound), but also helped with emotional regulation. We paid out of pocket (insurance initially paid, then decided DC no longer qualified). It’s cheaper than seeing a therapist, which was what we had done earlier for emotional regulation problems.

That was actually what helped most with emotional regulation was parent coaching (from a child therapist) and then medication (at age 6). So the OT was revisiting this issue and working on the sticky issues/moments. It was mostly creating a plan with my child, talking it through, and then sending it home to practice.

What I will say was a huge benefit of OT is that my child LOVED their OT. So they were excited to go, happily did the session, and really tried to work on the problem areas to please their OT. DC is usually compliant with therapies, but this has been the only one so far that they never wanted to miss. [/quote]
