Graduation Day

Grant graduated from occupational therapy this weekend! Kia, his OT, who has been working with us for about 9 months now said that she has never, ever seen a child improve as fast as Grant. She said that at this point the average person could not tell that he's had any difficulties in the past, and if he continues on this trajectory, then even a trained professional may not know he has struggled with his motor skills. So, she unofficially graduated him, but wants to see him again in a couple of months, just to make sure he's still on track.

The day after our great appointment with Kia, Grant's physical therapist, Carol, told us that she only has a few small concerns and she thinks he is almost ready for graduation as well. She is going to see us only twice a month now, to continue working on strengthening his right side.

Grant will still continue to see the PT, OT and early intervention teacher from the public schools on a regular basis, but they are making noises about phasing themselves out too. They said that they could graduate him, but he is too much fun, so they want to keep seeing him. As for right now, it is nice to have professionals to continue to check on Grant's progress and challenge him to do new things.
