We have the OT report FINALLY!

I spoke with Brooklyn's therapist today about the OT report as well as all of my notes about Brooklyn and how they related to Asperger's Syndrome. I also spoke with her about the medications Brooklyn is on, and my desire to have her off of them, especially considering that Brooklyn's behavior at school is no different on or off her medication. So, I have to talk it over with Joe and then talk it over with Brooklyn's psychiatrist about taking her off of the Adderall but keeping her on the Tenex/Guanfacine, and having her take it at lunch and again after school when she gets home.

I'm going to try to observe Brooklyn at school, both in the classroom and out on the playground. I want to see how she interacts with the other kids in both the classroom environment and out on the playground.

Well, we FINALLY got the OT report from Brooklyn's evaluation.

Here's the results:
Brooklyn has officially been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder (AKA Sensory Processing Disorder).
She's in the 1st percentile for personal responsibility and the 14th percentile for adaptive domain.
I don't know exactly what all of the numbers mean, but basically a score outside of typical performance shows a difference between her and her typically developing peers.
The rest of the scores are a bit weird, basically the higher the "score" the more "typically developing" she is.

Factor
Sensory seeing: 21 out of 85 (definite difference)
Emotionally reactive: 55 out of 80 (probable difference)
Low Endurace/Tone 45 out of 45 (typical performance)
Oral Sensory Sensitivity 45 out of 45 (typical performance)
Inattention/Distractability 24/35 (probably difference)
Poor Registration 28 out of 40 (definite difference)
Sensory Sensitivity 20 out of 20 (typical performance)
Sedentary 17 out of 20 (typical performance)
Fine motor/perceptual 11 out of 15 (typical performance)

Sensory Processing:
Auditory Processing 30 out of 40 (typical performance)
Visual processing 37 out of 45 (typical performance)
Vestibular Processing 37 out of 55 (definite difference)
Touch processing 56 out of 90 (definite difference)
multisensory processing 20 out of 35 (definite difference)
oral sensory processing 50 out of 60 (typical performance)

Modulation
Sensory Processing Related to Endurace/tone 45 out of 45 (typical performance)
Modulation related to Body position and movement 28 out of 50 (definite difference)
Modulation of movement affecting activity level 22 out of 35 (probably difference)
Modulation of sensory input affecting emotional responses 15 out of 20 (probable difference)
Modulation of visual input affecting emotional responses and activity level 14 out of 20 (probable difference)

Behavior and emotional responses
Emotional/social responses 60 out of 85 (probably difference)
Behavioral outcome of Sensory Processing 19 out of 30 (probably difference)
Items indicating Thresholds for response 9 out of 15 (definite difference)
