Occupational Therapy


Sean has had three occupational therapy sessions, and I am very impressed with his progress. The therapist goes over the same lessons every session, including coloring, using scissors, lacing beads and putting together puzzles, and every session Sean gets better and more independent with the tasks. Here is an example of a "craft" project he did. Sean tore up the pieces of paper and some of them he cut with special orthopedic scissors. He squeezed the glue onto the paper and he pressed the pieces of paper into the glue. (Of course, he also wanted to pull all the pieces back off.) He mimicked most of the actions except squeezing the glue. He tried to do that one all on his own.
