[quote=Anonymous]As PP have suggested, much depends on the OT, the child and the issues. I've got 2 kids that had extensive OT, the oldest is 12. It absolutely helped him when he was 5-8. It helped him overcome a lot of the anxiety he had with doing novel physical activities and invaluable assistance in helping him with emotional regulation - in addition to addressing fine motor issues. My other kid has many of the same challenges but it took longer to address through therapy. For us, the issue wasn't if it helped but how long to continue it. Oh, I think it absolutely helped with the sensory issues they were having, partly by teaching us how to work with the kids at home. But, not every therapist is created equal and we've had some flaky, ineffective therapists that I wasted little time on.[/quote]
