[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, we do have her in OT (she just started a few weeks ago). To be honest I don’t think the person is amazing. Can you let me know, do most OTs take insurance? How would you go about finding a good one?[/quote]

I'm the therapist from above. Honestly I think that OT is so important I would beg borrow and steal to get into a good one. Does your insurance reimburse out of network expenses? Most OTs do take insurance but good ones have waitlists because they're hard to find. To me it's worth pulling a kid from school for in order to get in with someone who knows what they're doing. Ask around with therapists and pediatricians and they will have suggestions for ones they like. [/quote]

OT is not going to help this child. This is a behavioral issue that OP needs to address using behavioral tools. [/quote]

Respectfully, are you a professional in this field? Because this is sensory seeking behavior that needs to be addressed from a sensory perspective. OTs work on [b]behavior[/b], that is part of the process. Who do you suggest she sees? [/quote]

OT’s are NOT trained in behavior. This is evidenced by the fact that you jump to the conclusion that it’s a sensory seeking behavior. [/quote]

What's your degree in? [/quote]

Behavior Analysis[/quote]

"Behavior analysis" is not a degree. [/quote]
