We finally, finally, finally got a good OT evaluation (over a year coming!) for DD, 7-1/2, with ADHD but also some motor and social issues. We really liked the therapist, and she noted I think all the things we see DD struggle with. For example, DD is exceptionally strong and flexible, but has had a lot of trouble learning new movements that have to be done quickly, like catching a ball or doing jumping jacks. One of the things the therapist said was that DD has some retained reflexes, for example the Moro, that she has to work against. Does anybody know anywhere that I can learn more about this? I trust this therapist, that's not the issue. We got a really good feeling about her at this first meeting, and she also came recommended by someone in the field whom we knew years ago and thought highly of (that woman recognized our name and changed DD's appointment to be with the particular therapist).
My daughter had a horrific birth due to a complete previa. I don't think about that much anymore, but I hate having to go back into the story at new places. I don't like to be reminded of how close she came to dying and it just makes me so sad that things did not go differently.
Edited to had: the "finally" part was just because of wait times where we live. We got an eval but a cranky tired person about a year ago, but that whole facility went under (and never told those of us on the wait list).
