That's great if the OT is experienced and willing to consider over excitabilities during in her/his determination. DS3.11 is low tone with hypermobile joints according to OT, struggles with vestibular sensory issues according to the OT and PCP, and over excitabilities according to the educational consultant. Thank goodness some of the therapy suggestions accommodate each. Gymnastics has been great as well as varying physical and movement activities at home, and he is sometimes receptive to using his hand strengthening balls. We've had less luck with the brushing and vest, but he sometimes asks for these things too. He's made progress with his fine motor development, though sitting still (and yes too not falling off chairs or walking into things) continues to be more of a challenge. We too are in the middle of trying to figure out what to do about school for next year. Good luck with both the school and clinical assessments! I hope all falls into place for you and DD!
