[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think sometimes this forum groups everyone in as adhd or autism parents. For my kid with cerebral palsy- OT has been essential. We needed to learn everything- how to position our child, range of motion exercises for my kid, feeding challenges, etc. I have met many OTs (and PTs) who prefer treating kids with more motor based or “medical” diagnoses. Also has been essential for getting us all sorts of equipment we need in our home. I think the progress is more evident and their training prepares them more than the more social or behavioral challenges of Autism and adhd. Not to say there aren’t motor challenges w those diagnoses but it is very different. This is just my two cents[/quote]

you’re totally right to point that out especially about OT. the problem is that OT is pushed on autism/adhd parents as a treatment for all sorts of stuff it does not actually do. On the flip side, a lot of kids with autism also have dyspraxia/motor planning issues, so some of the skills overlap with the skills needed for your child, albeit different. [/quote]
