[blindkid] OT goals~help needed!

[Stacy Lemmon]

Our daughter, 5,  had been seen privately in OT for over a year. That therapist resigned. So, after a period of time on a waiting list we were excited to be seen by a new OT. She has seen her twice and plans on discharging her. Along with being visually impaired, Adison has hypbermobility and poor endurance of her hands/wrists. She did not qualify for OT through the IU (she did not have the 25% delay required for services).  I have spoken with the new therapist and she has agreed to keep her for several more sessions. My question is, can anyone help me with some goals? She needs help with ADL skills...zippering, buttoning. The therapist says she set the goal for 2/2 buttons in 2 sessions, she states she has met this....I have never seen her successfully zipper her coat/boots or use anything other than large buttons.  Another goal of the OT....that she wheelbarrow walk for 20 ft. I'm sure that helps build upper body strength, but come on!

Thanks!
