We went to our weekly speech therapy appointment and we talked to our therapist about how Myah has been acting and she mentioned that it could possibly be some sensory issues. And if it continues we may need to think about putting Myah back into occupational therapy.
When she first mention OT i was very hesitant, not because I don’t think she needs it but because we have had multiple evaluations and went through two therapists in the time we did have OT.
Our first therapist just seemed like he did not like working with kids, like if they annoyed him, and he had no patience for them. (He ended up leaving to another place to work with adults)
Our second therapist was just mean. We felt like she would hold Myah down and force her to do the things she wanted her to do. I know they want them to focus but holding her down is NOT ok.
We just dont want to deal with her again and she is working the day Myah has speech therapy so we would most likey be stuck with her if we stayed at that center for OT.
We are thinking of waiting until she sees her physiatrist in the middle of the month and mentioning it to her. If she does think she needs OT then we will definitely get her into see one but it will probably be at a whole different center.
Having a child with special needs means they will almost always need therapy but you as a parent have the right to get a new therapist if you feel you need too.
No one should be forcing your child down to do the things they want them to do.
