I couldn't agree more with just about everything that's been said! In many ways we treat DS like a little adult because he speaks like one, thinks like and and a lot of times acts like one. Unfortunately the school only sees him as a 5-year old Kindergartner and treats him as such frown. The OT he had last year was GREAT! When we had a parent meeting and his preschool teacher brought up an issue of some sort, before I even said anything, the OT herself told his teacher that she needs to speak to him like to a grown up because that's what he responds to. As little time as she spent with him, she completely understood him! I have no idea who this new OT is. I don't even know if in fact this was the new OT or someone completely different because all the school note said was that he "... punched a staff member (OT)" but as far as I know, there are only two OTs. The old one and the new one.

We did have some experience with therapists that were not a good match in the past so I do know what it feels like and would not have him go through it again. It causes so much frustration and more problems arise than are solved. No therapy is better than bad therapy!
