And wondering what books were out there on the subject for my almost 8 month old, Jett.<br />Your little brother is very lucky! Is this a field you want to go into as a career eventually? I know you've helped me tremendously with Jett. I'm still finding gems and having "ah ha" moments with your book.<br />I will have my first meeting with an ND in 6 days. I get very little help with Jett's therapy. It's hard for me to get any patterning done (since it takes two/three people) and I'm not physically strong enough to do some of his balance exercises. (I'm thinking of hiring a neighborhood child to come over and help me!)<br />Can't wait to check out those books. Thanks again!Andi Durkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651762223667606607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211143012204688541.post-53037814499706052872010-10-21T00:50:43.654-07:002010-10-21T00:50:43.654-07:00Thanks for this post, it really makes sense to me ...Thanks for this post, it really makes sense to me because I live in India and get very little outside help when it comes to therapy, there are very few up-to-date therapists and in such a case I think it's better to do it oneself, where one knows what I am doing is correct and the right thing for my child. I also have the books you have named as well as your book which i received recently and refer to them alot.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552691097146215450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211143012204688541.post-49716459272176338972010-10-20T19:56:23.930-07:002010-10-20T19:56:23.930-07:00This post makes a great point!

She was feeding the baby the other day and said "Look how well he's clearing the spoon." Clearing, she didn't hear that from me, must have been the OT! My oldest is 11 and both girls love making books for Goldie, practicing sight words, and playing games with her. When she has a new achievement they are just as proud as I am of Goldie. Family is such a blessing!Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704697731192764110noreply@blogger.com
