Work on Fine Motor Skills
Greetings to everyone.
Today, Xavier took another meeting with his OT, Miss Katie. Rebecca and I have been asking why we need the OT, since she comes and writes down what she observes and what we tell her, but doesn't offer any direction different from Miss Robin, Xavier's speech therapist. Katie agreed, so now we have a new direction.
Xavier is significantly ahead in his gross motor skill development when compared to a term baby his age. However, his fine motor skill development is behind, even for his adjusted age. Katie is going to focus on developing his fine motor skills. He now has some six-month goals, which we will begin work on in his next session.
Miss Robin will push forward with Xavier's eating skills, which he is greatly improving on. Shortly, Robin thinks, she can begin working to catch Xavier up on his speech.
It does appear the light ahead is, in fact, the end of this eating-problem tunnel. Thank You, Jesus!
