Our goals in OT are to build his fine motor skills and to better understand his sensory seeking behavior. We've seen huge gains in fine motor skills - he can now use a fork and spoon easily, for instance. In terms of sensory seeking, we're learning ways to account for his needs here (brushing regimen, sensory gym activities, etc.) so things are going much better 6 months later. Thanks for asking!

What are your goals and progress in OT, if you don't mind me asking. I'm an OT myself (not US-based though) so I just wanted to ask.
