[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 537282, member: 11847"] The Occupational Therapist (OT) came to our house today. She starts with fine and gross motor skills and Sweet Pea tests above average on those. Her selfhelp skills are also a bit above average. She then filled out a sensory questionaire and although she could not score it right away (she explained it was kind of time consuming and the computer would then draw the scores), she does not think we are dealing with sensory issues, or if any it is very mild. She did admit to be a bit concerned by the intensity and frequency of the meltdowns. She said maybe it is behavioral... which I translate as "I don't know what is wrong". I have to keep in mind that the early intervention teacher who has been coming every week for the last 6 months warned me that this Occupational Therapist (OT) was not specialized in sensory and tends to dismiss it. I won't have the report for an other 3 weeks, but I will file it and keep it as a baseline for future reference. Ms. K (EI teacher) will be coming tomorrow and I'll talk with her to see what she advise. Do I resort to private evaluation through V's Occupational Therapist (OT) or do I wait a bit longer and see how the behavior develops? Her speech therapist expects to see a lot of growth in her speech within the next 3 months. Maybe the meltdowns are only related to communication frustration? Her Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) says that she most definitely thinks in complex sentences and is very intelligent. Could it explain everything? I'm not sure... I am not super worried but I would hate for things to get as bad as it did with V. After all, I had called EI when V was barely 2 and they told me that everything was fine. [/QUOTE]
