[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the child's needs. A child with true gross or fine motor skill issues, I think its helpful, but otherwise I am in the its a bunch of fluff and a waste of time and money. Our developmental ped insisted we go. We did it for about a year and all he did was play games and only a few minutes of fine motor stuff, which was my bigger concern. It was too hard to do with school and speech therapy (very helpful) and we dropped it. Somehow without doing it, the OT was shocked when we went back that all the concerns he had disappeared (they were all language based). He was helpful with teaching the proper pencil grip that I was struggling to do. I, like others said, asked him to focus on fine motor - handwriting especially. He'd spend 10 minutes doing it and then the rest of the time doing unnecessary stuff. After we got the pencil grip, we dropped it again. We may go back for a few sessions for shoe tying. [/quote]
