OT Evaluation
June 24, 2008
Tomorrow morning 9:30 Occupation Therapy evaluation. I have very mixed feelings. This diet is changing everything…which is great, but confusing. Can diet really change so many behaviors? She is far from “normal”, but not nearly as uncontrollable and sensory driven, self satisfying, etc as she was even a week ago. Tip toe walking has almost stopped. Now I have stayed home mostly and unintentionally avoided new over stimulating experiences. Are we going to show up and they say she is totally fine? That would be great, but they have not seen her before this week. Can we just give her grilled cheese?
No way! I like this new way of living. Still no biting. Initiating interaction, pointing to things. Sunday morning at church she said bye to her teachers with a wave and a firm “Bye”.
We managed to hide her enzymes in her a.m. vitamin water and p.m. watered down juice. It will work until we figure something else out. Any thoughts?
Breakfast: corn crisp cereal with sunflower seeds, fresh strawberries, rice protein powder and almond milk
Lunch: Quinoa noodles and marinara with broccoli. She ate tons of cashews, almonds, and carrots before.
Dinner: Hummus, celery, cucumbers, avocado, baked sweet potato coins
