Ben's OT evaluation and a video showing receptive speech
I got the written OT report in the mail this week, and it was interesting to see on paper how similar Ben's OT needs are to Liam's. The OT listed the following as areas of concern:
-decreased fine motor skills
-decreased visual motor skills
-decreased bilateral coordination
-decreased self-help skills
-decreased social interaction/play skills
difficulties with sesnory processing and modulation, particularly in the following areas: auditory processing, oral processing, tactile processing, imapired self-regulation to modulate attention, behavior, and emotional responses as sesnory stimulation changes.
She recommends OT 1-2 times a week.
I finally downloaded photos off my camera. With my fancy new iPhone, I am less motivated to download from the Nikon on a regular basis. The video is a bit long, but shows Ben's issues with receptive language. In the beginning, he is looking at animals and I am trying to ask him to name the animal or sound and he really struggles with managing it. Then I start giving him a visual prompt by handing him the animal, and he does MUCH better. This shows how much he relies on visual prompts. Then we end by counting because that is what he loves to do.
