Why I’d pull the plug on occupational therapy

The boys had a great day at school. That’s not surprising but it’s always good to hear. In a little while, I’ll be taking Elliott to occupational therapy, although he’s going unwillingly.

He’s been on the wait list for over a year and was originally scheduled at the beginning of the month but the OT needed to reschedule.

We are saying goodbye to an important #Autism therapy

I took Emmett to occupational therapy this past Tuesday, only to find out that this is his last session. I had no idea this is what was going to happen and frankly, I’m not sure what to think.  Having said that, it’s not uncommon to take a break from things during the Summer and pick …
