Final OT Session with Sumanta

Sadly, we had to say, "Goodbye," to Sumanta this week, on Wednesday. This was Austin's final session with Sumanta. Next time, Austin will be with Jane, who seems very nice and has already indicated that she is favourably impressed with Austin.

Sumanta told me about the progress he has seen in Austin - improved endurance and upper arm strength. He also feels that Austin's motor planning is significantly better, and sensory processing is much less of an issue.

Sumanta has made a note in Austin's file, about the changes coming up for Austin, that may challenge him (see the post, "Preparing for the Perfect Storm"). Despite the fact that Jane seems well qualified and certainly is caring, we will monitor this new relationship to ensure that Austin continues to be enthusiastic about OT, and continues to improve.

We are so grateful for this therapy - it has definitely improved Austin's overall wellbeing. He is more willing to write when he is inspired by a thought, wants to remember something, or wants to convey a message to others.
