Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Well, every OT in my son’s preschool and elementary school that I came across never “got it”. They always tried to give him PlayDoh or Shaving Cream when I asked them not to.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 That’s OK. If that’s the worse thing they do Actually the preschool OT’s were really into sensory stuff. The K-2 OT’s are into cutting, pasting, handwriting, etc. It seems to get harder as my son gets older. The school wouldn’t even touch his eating problems and when I called my insurance company- they wouldn’t cover an OT for eating unless he was dying from starvation.
