Love the enthusiasm, but just a clarification- it's not called occupational therapy because it prepares children to have an occupation. In the world of medicine and rehabilitation, an occupation is the ability to fulfill your daily roles and routines. For children, they're two main occupations are School and play, but also things like self-feeding, social interactions, pet care, dressing, etc. OT has nothing to do with jobs, but how one occupies one's time. Other than that this was a great window into a essential service for many children, and the progress Eli made was really great. Another great resource for understanding autism, especially for parents is the book and documentary written by an autistic child " The Reason I Jump". It's an absolute necessity to understanding sensory processing disorders.
I have read it, I am also autistic-and my apologies, I received that information from our occupational therapist, I donât know that she necessarily meant âfor an occupationâ but for the skills you would need to carry out functioning in life, and occupation, which is often âviewedâ as a necessary aspect.
However I appreciate you correcting me, I see the WFOT has that explanation, however I found several other explanations at different occupational providers, including our own, so it seems to not be well u derstood across the board.
Most of this session, His OT answered some questions I had and explained some awesome things, but if yâall like this video and want videos showing more of the activity side of things, I can do another one where we break down different OT Activities one day. â€ïž đ€
My son will be starting occupational therapy in a few weeks. Never heard of it before but excited to see him grow and learn more about it. â€
Glad I watched this so long ago. Thanks to this finally asked my parents to seek out occupational therapy for my brother. They never heard of it but so glad I watched this vid. We had no idea they help him out in so many different areas from school dressing himself toileting you name it.
Amazing thank you
Fantastic share. I wish my son got early intervention however he has caught up and excelled in last two years now at twelve Iâm so proud of him. My son was a sensory seeker and at this age he touched everything and hit things to either hear the sounds or feel the vibrations.
Iâm so glad you enjoyed it! And Yes!! From the videos I have seen, your son seems to be doing so wonderfully!â€ïž If you donât mind me asking, how only was your son when he was diagnosed?
Early intervention has helped so so much with Yi, both with him, and ME understanding and learning more about how to better help and parent him and just Understanding him better in general!
In the past week he has Pointed for the first time EVER, he held a phone to his ear for the first time EVER, he looked at my face for a moment when I grabbed his toy instead of intently staring at the toy the entire time for the first time ever, And he brought a toy to me twice for the FIRST TIME EVER!!!
Like, all of this out of no where! It has really woke me up to see just how important understanding the sensory system is. (Sorry for the rambling, I am literally just so amazed at his improvements)
With the Cognitive growth however has come some negative changes as well, a new self harming stim and some mood swings, but we will work through them all the sameâ€ïž
Louder than Words RaisingAutism he was 4 when diagnosed he was verbal till 18mtbs then just stopped till four I have older children I put the non talking as the other kids talking for him. However around 3 he did speak but it was just echolalia so speech pathologist still
Deemed him non verbal as he wouldnât spontaneously speak only after prompting. My son did point but it was not done to show you he was looking at his hand when pointing like a stim. We had him tested but the team said no they didnât think he was because he had good eye contact đ€Šđœââïž. He was also calm and quiet. He also gave them toys. They put him under the GDD umbrella. At 5 it became more obvious as his ability to now do what was expected excesses his ability to regulate home self and then the extreme behaviours and school refusals began. First dx was ADHD but paed thought something else was amiss and referred us for dual assessment. Same team decided then yes he is level two autistic. So he was almost 6 by then. We missed crucial therapy time but I cannot complain he has had some amazing therapist and teachers and look at him now.
Hey love!! Heâs a cutie. đ€đ€© much love to you & your family. đ
Thank you so much,Jim glad you enjoyed!â€ïž And same to you!!
This was a super informative video, it was interesting what she said about him not responding to his name being linked to his sensory needs. Eden is a huge seeker in almost every way beside auditory she has a lot of noise sensitivity. But she also is really hard to get a response from , you say something to her or call her name and largely she isnât going to respond and she hears fine itâs not like she hadnât heard you because she does take absolutely everything in and will come back later and reference that thing you said that she seemed to not take in (worryingly so, you canât say anything in front of her or if sheâs in the next room over because sheâs absorbing everything!) itâs interesting to think thatâs maybe related to the same reasons she seeks so much input. Sheâs constantly in motion , spinning , running , jumping , climbing.
I know! I have learned so much from his therapists and doctors this year!! The phases we have gone through on understanding, and in turn parenting him, has changed so rapidly, and so much of it keeps relating back to the sensory system!
I think his kind of being in his own bubble, and not responding is sensory related, but also communication and socially related, but it relating to sensory would explain why he has all of the sudden improved greatly!!
We just got his room changed into a sensory room, and are still adding to it, but it has given him the opportunity to meet his needs at any time throughout the day! Doing this has changed everything and he can finally learn and give joint attention!â€ïž
And I completely get what you mean about your daughter taking everything in! When they donât respond itâs hard to think about sometimes, but they will focus on everything! So much more aware than they let onđ
I always say Yi is like an evil genius, silently listening!
Iâm glad you enjoyed the video love!â€ïž
Excellent video!! Really enjoyed watched the progress that Eli is making in OT!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful
Love seeing yiâs progress! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Yes! Itâs so crazy how much he has grown and improved in a matter of weeks! â€ïžâ€ïž
Love it thank you!!
You are so welcome!â€ïžđ€
Way to go Eli! Glad to hear about his progress. Very interesting to learn about the sensory system. Love the channel and look forward to more videos đ
Thank you so much for watching! Iâm glad you enjoyed it and found it interesting! I always wonder if this is interesting to people who donât personally have children with these struggles, but thatâs the whole point!
We need to GET people interested so that when we see someone having a hard time, our fist thought goes to what they could be struggling with and how to help instead of the judgeMent that a lot of people default to, including me once apron a time! (I used to think âIâll be danger of my kid acts like that one dayâ before I even had kidsđ )
So thank you for being an awesome part of supporting us and spreading understanding and acceptanceâ€ïž
Louder than Words RaisingAutism well said! You definitely have our support đ
I have seen autism kids and some parent have great patience handling ... I salute them
Your kid looks awesome and moving freely ... love the way she threw the ball and playing around.
For me we can learn a lot of things by watching them doing things and your video has open a new way of taking life daily
Creativity with stuff definitely will make their life better ( my thoughts)
Thank you for sharing and watching my videos đđ have a great day
Thank you so much for your kind words!! â€ïžâ€ïžIâm so glad you enjoyed watching!
Yay! You're the best! As an OT it feels so good for people to understand what we do and to want to continue that at home. What a great Mom! You rock!
OMG, You Rock! Our Team of Therapists are amazing, And our OT is always so happy to explain things in ways that I can understand them, reexplain if I forget, she always makes sure I am 100% part of whatâs going on.
What you guys do is amazing! I have watched my son flourish after nearly 3 years of therapy he has really come a long way and it is definitely thanks to his Therapists for teaching me how to parent him in the was he needs.
I used to love taking my son to OT, he is a teenager now and no longer needs it but it was invaluable :) New fan from Australia ;)
I was shocked at how much fun and play it is, but also how beneficial it is!! Out of his many Therapists, his OT is by far my Favorite with himâ€ïž Iâm not sure if he has a favorite but she is definitely amazing with him.
Iâm so glad you enjoyed watching!â€ïž And thanks so much for the support!
@@louderthanwordsInclusivity my daughter used to always be jealous of her brother at the all the fun things he got to do there :)
Thank you so much for this! My almost 4 year old has autism.

I can relate. I have a son with autism
Does your son enjoy his OT too? it is my sons favorite hands down because of all the extra play lol!
much love to you and your familyâ€ïžđ€
Yes he enjoys his OT specially when they do art. (Drawing)
Great video! Cute boy! Like 15 and subbed to you. See you soon!
Awe, thank you for your support! Iâm glad you enjoyed the video!â€ïž
Hi may i ask how many hours a day when he is doing his therapy?
I just realized I misread the question lol he on average does 2 hours a week of this therapy now it used to be 3. Insurance will only cover a certain amount per week you typically donât have it daily
@@louderthanwordsInclusivity thanks for the reply. and sorry for my english. im from asia. my 2yo daughter has the same behavior as Yi and just got diagnosed with ASD last month. im gonna check out your others video to learn more. thanks for sharing.
My ocupational therapist has not been able to do nothing with my daughter and it's been 2 months. I know that things take time but to hear my baby just crying from the start until finish I don't see no progress. I just want to learn to help my daughter of 13 months of age
Wonder if she continued OT and if it helped in anyway. My son cried with his SLP and I stopped. They weren't a good fit for each other. She wasn't patient and he wasn't settled or comfortable
Hiz I just took her out and left her with speech therapy and I took her to a daycare that has help my baby girl develop social skills and has really improved. Additionally she started ocupacional therapy like 3 months ago again but to be honest what has help her has been interaction with other kids and a sa mothers practicing with my baby girl on a daily basis ans taking her to the park. I hope this help a little.
i am a kid i don,t know if i have austim can you hlep me
