Just because he is the hospital admin does not mean he won't care. As this is in a hospital, call the main number and ask to see the patient ombudsman. This is the person who investigates and tries to fix problems for patients. I thought they only worked with people admitted to the hospital for a long time, but when I had a problem with a person as an outpatient I was sent to the patient ombudsman for help and she was awesome.
The hospital admin also might be interested. Is this the only Occupational Therapist (OT) at the hospital, or the dept head? because every dept has a head and if that is not your Occupational Therapist (OT) then that is her boss But the hospital admin is the big boss and often you can get better results going to the top. Mostly because the person at the top does NOT want to be bothered by little things so when they DO get contacted about them, they get upset with the employee who upset the patient/client/customer!! Or that has been MY experience, even with hospitals.
One of the things we found when we did Occupational Therapist (OT) at home was that ALL of the kids benefited, even Wiz. The Occupational Therapist (OT) told us taht past age 7 they didn't work with kids because ti didn't really help with sensory stuff and the kids were so resistant because it was "baby stuff" in their minds. I thought she was nuts because the brain is always developing and that is what many therapeis help. I talked to the older 2 and said that I wanted to see if she was right or wrong using them and myself as guinea pigs. she wasn't. We ALL developed more ability to cope with the sensory things that made us crazy and we were ALL more calm and happy overall. I personally noticed a HUGE change in myself, to the point that if I had a brush with me in the car and used it just before I went inside, I could ENJOY being in the mall for an hour or so. Generally I just can't - they are too noisy, too stinky (from the potpourris and perfumes mostly), too overwhelming esp when you add in an overwhelmed kid or three! Normally we manage maybe 20 min and that is a big accomplishment we reward with a trip to a bookstore for a new book (we go to the mall because that is where our eye doctor is and she is great.)
So doing Occupational Therapist (OT) at home can be a good thing. It also provides MANY unplugged activities for the whole family that are more fun than "therapizing". My kids would get so sick of this therapy and that therapy and the next therapy that finding a way to help that did NOT seem like therapy was a great gift to them. It also helped us interact in different ways with-o a huge fight over turning off the video games or tv.
One thing from the book that I LOVED was called a crash pad. It is a ginormous pillow that can be jumped on, used to pad a jump off of something else, cuddled on, etc... I used two twin sheets (we dont' use flat sheets because the kids kept tying them to things or hiding nasty things like a box of ice cream bars in them and NOT washing them after they melted) andleft one short edge open. I stuffed it with the out of season blankets, pillows and sheets. I did buy a couple of comforters at a thrift store and then our church thrift store gave me some free comforters that they were not going to sell because they had small holes or stains (nothing gross of course - the manager adores thank you!). So it was cheap, easy to make (very simple to sew the sheets together, even by hand it just took a bit of time as I watched tv) and was used for so very very many things, including rolling up in like a burrito for deep pressure.
thank you used it for EVERYTHING and loved it, so did the other 2. We just didn't have room for 2 of them, so they had to share it. Lots of times J and T ended up cuddled together in it to watch tv or read - something they NEVER did at their ages (10 and 6).
