[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 480931, member: 11847"] When we walk out of Occupational Therapist (OT), he is more defiant than ever. Complety all over the place. I feel lost, I don't even know what I should expect out of Occupational Therapist (OT). What kind of reasonable goal should I have?? Right after lunch, he wanted to play a board game with my Mother. He would not follow the rules (which he knows very well) and kept on doing the wrong things on purpose. I finally interveined and made him go to his cool down spot. Lots of crying, but managed to calmed down. But I can feel he is not settled, another episode is in the making. After his evaluation, the Occupational Therapist (OT) wrote a list of goals: 1. provided with organizational and graded vestibular/proprioceptive activities, V will display improved spatial orientation and body awareness as evidenced with his ability to safely and accurately negotiate in defined physical boundaries independently for regarding others personal space and engaging in peer play. 2. V will dmonstrate improved sensory processing and praxis skills as evidenced by the ability to: a- Accept alteration of activity by therapist or peer without frustration/avoidance b- Vary/modify one or more components of an activity with verbal prompt 3. Improve self regulation in order to: a- adjust and sustain activity level appropriate to task or environment for 10 minutes b-transition from 3 tasks and out of treatment session when provided with 2 or less verbal cues 4. improved vestibular processing and postural control as evidenced by his ability to initiate and engage in movement based equipment with unexpected changes in speed and direction for 5 minutes without termination of task or upset 5. V and his family will demonstrate an understanding and implementation of all recommendations in order to ensure carryover into all environments. We are SOOOO far to achieving those written goals. They seem pretty simple, but he just cannot handle it right now... I will not stop right now, but how long should I wait be it is reasonable to assume it is not working?? [/QUOTE]
