[quote=Anonymous]And sometimes OT is baloney and a child is just not ready with fine motor skills of a particular variety but will grow into them just fine. The emergence if the skills will happen without OT - there is no correlation or causation there. (DC was just a late blooming leftie, no OT was actually required though it was pushed on us .... ) Research the scientific validation of some of these purported OT tests .... let me know if you find any because, as far as I can tell after consult with several scientists and psychologists, the "field" and common practices are not based on any credible evidence supporting the efficacy or usefulness of OT commonly provided to young children. My two cents? Time and money are better spent teaching most kids a sport the requires motor control, like tennis, squash, fencing, batting, you name it. Less money and they end up with something useful. [/quote]
