[quote=Anonymous]We did it and it was great for our kid.  I sat quiet as a mouse and watched the OT.  I learned a lot about how to effectively communicate with my child.  Big picture - kid was able to develop his fine motor/hand grip.  Stopped switching hands when drawing a horizontal line.  And kid was super chill afterwards.  20/20 hindesight - 100 percent clear to me that activities that required bilateral coordination and focus were challenging and soothing for my kid.  Child was simply not getting what he needed out of a very active preschool and normal playground activities.  We graduated from it and eventually took gymnastic classes for a few years - eg cheap OT.  It has been very helpful.  Was it a cure - nope.  We eventually figured out he has adhd.  Did it help us start to crack the code and figure out his individual needs and what activities helped prime him for success at home and at school - yes.  Did it start the perhaps life long process of learning how our communication style needed a healthy reboot to be effective parents? Absolutely.   [/quote]
