Okay, well, perhaps there is hope. My mother in law watched the kids today and I mentioned that DS needed to go to therapy tonight. She has no idea about what therapies we are doing or that we are trying something new. She just knows he has been going to OT for the past two years for his fine motor delays. Anyway, she said that the OT must finally be working because she noticed how much better DS's fine motor skills while they were playing Kerplunk. She said he was very good at it. She also talked about how great his behavior has been lately - how much more flexible, less frustrated and more in control of his emotions he is .. She mentioned he seems to handle disappointment much better lately.

So I guess it is making a difference. I have been consulting on a case the past three months - so I haven't been around to observe him lately.
