Today, Austin had his first occupational therapy session, and he really enjoyed it. Fun gym and equipment, and awesome, engaging, therapist.
The OT told me that he suspects SPD (sensory processing disorder). Yet, another acronym to chew on!!
Now, the difference here is, the treatment for SPD is actually treating the cause, whereas, in his opinion, the treatment of ADHD is treating the behaviour. According to the OT, SPD manifests behaviourally similarly to ADHD.
Austin completed a few drawings on a special paper where he etched his sketches to reveal colours beneath a coating on the paper.
Austin will have his second appointment this Thursday.
