Thank you for sharing your ideas. We have not done an OT eval bcos I never thought that her high energy level is a medical problem that needs help. I just assumed she has too much energy and she doesn't know what to do with her body so she tries everything. I am curious to find out what prompted you to get an OT eval and therapy- what should I look out for?
To polarbear's reply, her vision seems to be okay. She is never accidentally bumping off things. It is always purposeful. She will arrange cushions and pillows to create a cascading step or tower, place it strategically next to the window seat and create other elaborate setups for her to climb, jump off, slide down, etc. Also I haven't researched ADHD but she does have long attention span (1-1.5 hours at a stretch) for activities she enjoys like jigsaw puzzle or pouring liquids from one pot to another. I am also looking for ideas to get the energy out of her system through some structured activity. The idea of an indoor trampoline is excellent. I know she would love it. Thanks everyone.
