[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 541026, member: 11847"] JMO, but I would not waste my time with an Occupational Therapist (OT) who is not skilled in sensory integration. From the brief description you give, J has no fine or gross motor issues. If you are going to spend some money in Occupational Therapist (OT) testing, take the time to find an Occupational Therapist (OT) who has training in sensory stuff. You also need to keep in mind that sensory integration is a slow process and J would need regular relevant therapy. And then you would follow through at home. You are not in an emergency situation, you don't have to settle for somebody who likely will not be very helpful. I agree with lovely, buy the "out of sync child". Also, if you decide to try it at home, keep an open mind. A sensory diet can seem a bit useless at first. But overtime, the changes can be amazing. I would say save yourself the disapointment and go have fun at the pool! [/QUOTE]
