Yesterday Summer had her pre assessment for her casting period at One Kids Place. Since it was at the end of her school day, she had a short attention span. However, her OT Ann and PT Andree did a great job of keeping her engaged. Don also attended, and sometimes he is able to get her to focus a little better than me. I took photos and also ran a little interference here and there.
Summer did a great job. Both Ann and Andree were impressed with her progress with the tasks compared to her performance last year. What a difference a year makes. As Summer matures different cognitive factors come into play. It is easier to encourage her use of her right hand. But she has also learned so many coping mechanisms that when choice is a factor, she will sometimes choose not to use her right hand.
The Pre-assessment was made up of both gross and fine motor skills. Summer was getting amazing extension in her right elbow and lots of great grasping by her right hand.
Here is a one-liner that Summer threw at me last weekend:
"Mommy, stop making that noise, you are getting on my nerts!"
