[Leigh]

Who's LO has had one?

Care to share any information???

After 1 year and 4 months waiting we have an appointment for beginning of July!

They are starting with sensory, and will do a little bit of fine/gross motor skills and feel if thats warranted to look at will book another session for that.

It's being done at CPRI.

We had in-home visits thru TVCC and it was great. Very kid friendly...the therapist we had went at her pace, didn't push her, engaged her in what she was interested, all the while assessing things. The actual testing days were harder on her because she didn't want to focus on some of the things (like the spatial recognition questions, etc) so he eased off when she got frustrated.

I'm sure it'll go well.

Same here. The home visits were set at DS's pace. He enjoyed it. Fun, play type of activities... cutting, scissors, drawing, buttons/silly putty.... She asked us a lot of questions too while DS was busy. She also observed what his typical eating routine was like. She observed his self feeding skills, what he eats (very limited). She set up an appointment around lunch time for that. The school assessment was more sit down stuff, questions. They already had the report from TVCC too though. After our initial home visit assessment, DS continued to receive OT at home until school age. He now recieves it at school too.
