I asked the OT what the diagnosis was and she didn't give me one. She has not answered any of my questions, so now I'm going back to our pediatrician to try to get some answers from her. I read Out of Sync Child as well as a couple of other similar books and I'm not finding any connection. Maybe, I'm in deep denial. I just don't know. I just wish someone would talk to me, and the OT just seems like it's a big imposition when I try to ask her anything. We started seeing her in June and I still have no clue what is going on. She'll tell me what they did each day, but not why they are doing it. It's frustrating. We will actually be looking for another OT b/c she has done a few things that I think are totally unacceptable. She did this thing where she scared him with a balloon (one that flies across the room and whistles) and he freaked out. I understand the theory behind it was to expose him to unexpected things, but every time we went back after that day he begs her not to do the balloon and she still does it. He's 3 and I just think she needed to go slowly and acknowledge his fear. Then yesterday, he hit her when he was frustrated and she said it was an impulse hit rather than an intentional hit, but she proceeded to grab him tightly, tower over him, got in his face and in a loud voice kept saying "why are you hitting, why are you hitting?" I happened to be there b/c it was time for me to pick him up and I was so upset. My son didn't cry, but he had this look of terror on his face as she was grabbing him and practically yelling. I felt her reaction was over the top and not really appropriate. We left and will not be going back. Now, I have to search for a new one, who I hope will be a better fit and able to talk to me about what is really going on. It's so frustrating!
