Sooooo we added on OT (occupational therapy) to this intensive. Girl…
Carson and I were watching the session videos together and we realized that Camilla hasn’t had OT that focused on a) visual skills (tracking, depth perception, etc) and b) activating the vestibular system (the system that tells your brain where you are in space) for THREE AND A HALF YEEEEAAAARS!
Right out of the NICU, we had an AMAZING OT that came in home and was… just phenomenal. He was also British and had a super deep voice and had an extremely calming present. Truly a God sent gift.
We ended up moving, to be closer to the children’s hospital, and were assigned a new OT.
Since then, our OTs have all been trying to get Camilla to do things like brush her teeth, and color.
We’ve had some great co-treats with PT and OT, but even then the OT mostly focused on play while the PT focused on posture control. Soooo vision and vestibular system were not the priority.
This has been a HUGE missing piece in Camilla’s treatment! Duuuuuh🤦🏽♀️
While there’s not much I can do to change the past, we can do something different in the present/future.
I’m SO GLAD we talked on OT to this intensive and we will DEFINITELY be upgrading our home plan after this week👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
