Occupational therapy

At each visit, I ask the therapist to tell me the two top things that I should be doing with my boy and I make sure that I do those two top things every day at least once a day. I keep a running list on the refrigerator so that the whole family knows what we are working on. It ends up being 6+ things a day and is time consuming but it is something that we all tackle. My boy has big sisters who also work on things with him. In fact, you can specifically ask the therapists for ideas of things that the big sister can do with him. I think that siblings can be great motivators and quite patient and be a great resources in working with our kids.

Ask the occupational therapist for things that you can do in your day to day interactions that will help strengthen your child and compensate for his weaknesses.
