Interesting DeeDee. I felt like our OT absolutely understood and accurately described our DD to us, including what she would have been like 3 yrs prior to his first laying eyes on her. But I was never that convinced that the course of OT did that much for her. Integrating her retained reflexes DID seem to appreciably help but I think it was the craniosacral physio who achieved that. All the left-right crossing and integration activities also seem to have appreciably helped, but that was achieved through swimming and piano more than formal therapy. Diet seems to have had the single biggest impact socially, emotionally and academically. But ultimately she's still not NT and was still diagnosable AFTER all the things we tried to do to help her, before realising she was in need of a more global diagnosis.
