Quiver0f10 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I was wondering how OT can help a child with ADHD or ADD? I have seen this mentioned before and was wondering if it was something I should look into for my 7 year old. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It can help the sensory side, and Interactive Metronome is supposed to be able to help some of the brain stuff. Even just the eval is really worthwhile, if you get someone who spends some time with you. After we did OT for a while and paid through the nose, I read the recommendation to do once a month with homework. That's what I wish we had done, with a different OT. ;) If you find an OT who does IM, it gives you options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks. I am going to ask my 12 year old's OT when I see her next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
