[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Few sessions on and off at a time.  Helped to learn to hold a pencil but then it was just practice.  I think the OT made up the sensory non-sense.[/quote]

Made up? How did you allow that then!?[/quote]

Because our developmental ped we are forced to see insisted on all kinds of therapies like ABA and OT after evaluating our child for 45 minutes.  I did each for a few months to try them to see if there was a benefit and I saw none - then I could say we tried it and it was not as helpful as XXX so that is what we are doing.  It did help for pencil holding and a few things but the OT would do all kinds of lame activities vs. focusing on what I asked her to do.  He was a nice guy and my kid enjoyed going.  Sometimes you have no option if you want to get the services paid for you want.  Now, a few years later, still same concerns I expressed but the ones the developmental ped and OT claimed sure enough are all gone.[/quote]

Well lucky you.  It doesn't always work that way.[/quote]

Yes, lucky us.  My child has to endure pointless developmental peds. appointments to get therapies forced on him, so he cannot participate in fun things or have a typical life all just to get therapy he did need.[/quote]
