[quote=Anonymous]Too many seem to think that everything comes down to sensory issues and push that as a focus, even when there is no evidence. No, I don't think that sensory issues caused my kid's speech problems and I don't think brushing helped one bit. We bailed on OT quickly and doubled down on speech with the same money. Nor were sensory issues at the root of my gifted but highly anxious nephew's school trouble. But the power of suggestion is strong and kids aren't dumb and within a few weeks, my nephew just started attributing any behavior incidents to "socks are too tight" or similar, as a dodge. Sure, I think there are kids with legit sensory issues, but if they don't present with any signs, I think it's bullshit for OTs to force it and risk creating an issue that then needs "treatment." The pp who mentioned their handwriting person who viewed herself as PT for the upper body gives me hope for the profession, that it's not all flaky, woo woo crap.[/quote]
