I would only worry about getting OT for sensory issues if you think it is causing her problems- which from your description, doesn't sound like it is the case. Being high energy and sensory seeking isn't something that needs to be addressed if it isn't affecting social skills, learning, behavior at school etc. Also, there are some OTs that are trained in SI and some that aren't- and there are different approaches as well. If you think that sensory issues are negatively affecting your child, seek out another OTs opinion. Your current OT may not be someone who does a lot of sensory practice. On the flip side, there are some OTs who focus on sensory issues- but almost to a fault. They see sensory "problems" with every person they are asked to assess. I guess my long winded point is- I wouldnt worry about it unless it is having negative consequences. And I am an OT!
