Can we get another Poor B?  Yet another OT today (at least they didn't cancel?) but it was another speech therapist as well!  Looking ahead at the schedule, his speech therapist keeps changing as well.  I wish they'd get some more consistency :p  Its not all bad--one reason we moved his speech to the rehab center is because they do have so many SLPs and the other place only had one so scheduling is hard over there and at the rehab center there are choices if someone leaves/calls off.  But it does work better if he has multiple sessions with the same person and develops a rapport.  Hopefully it settles down soon.  On the positive side, he took it all in stride and was cheerful and cooperative yesterday. Much better than the silence of a few weeks ago.

Miss Iz also has OT and she was a little wild :p  Miss J had to redirect a lot but when Iz focused, she did really well.  They were working on body awareness as she's been a bit clumsy lately and keeps running into things and falling.  A problem all of my seekers have!  Funnily enough, when the Super Kid came back later, he also worked with Miss J and she had him do some of the same activities as Iz because he needs to work on body awareness as well :p

The Super Kid also worked more on his letter/number reversals.  She did some vision work with him as well (she's trained in visual processing disorder, something his old OT a few years ago thought he might have.  He does fairly well in most areas but those reversals have plagued him for years).  No one has ever been able to find a reason for the reversals (he has a reading learning disability but not dyslexia).  He was diagnosed with Dyspraxia many many years ago so its possibly related to that--the coordination issues between brain and actions appear to effect many systems so maybe?  We may never find out!  But he keeps working on them and he does have fewer reversals than years ago so maybe someday he'll have learned to compensate for all of them (although when I'm really tired, I revert back to reversing certain letters and numbers so I guess its never completely compensated for in my case ;) )
