[QUOTE="frustrated440, post: 80205, member: 4091"] Hello everyone. Well yesterday was my 3 year old's Occupational Therapist (OT)/ST session. They asked if I wanted to come in or watch a monitor in another room. I decided to watch the monitor because I think it's important for him to get used to time without me. It went really well. They transitioned him ALOT. They would do something for a couple of minutes and then they were on to something else. They gave him some choice time in between. He picked bubbles and they took turns blowing them. I've never worked with him on learning how to take turns and things, call me an idiot, but with him being my first I'm also kinda learning as I go. The appointment was scheduled for an hour and after 45 min. he wanted to leave the room and come find me and that is when he started to cry, but they did a really good job of calming him and helping him get his shoes on. Both therapists thought the session went REALLY well, thank God! I was really surprised that he was so compliant. I also will be starting him at a new preschool. He will be going to the public preschool at the elementary school where I work. I think he will do Occupational Therapist (OT)/ST on Wed. and school will be Thr. and Fri. I think that is the schedule I will start him out on. School is 3 hrs. each day and everyone else goes 4 days there, but I definitely think that is too much for him. I just want to get his feet wet right now and I will leave it up to the teachers to tell me if they think he can go more. I like that his therapists are working with him on structure, taking turns, and waiting/being patient. I think this will help him be successful at this preschool. Well I have my fingers crossed, but he was a very good boy yesterday. Not that I really have huge issues with his behavior but he needs to learn about structure and sitting still, that sort of thing. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that I am doing the right thing for him and not putting too much on him or asking too much from him. [/QUOTE]
