Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 , Today Abby had her OT appt, (First one since we got home from Disney) I told the OT all about our vacation, and Abby going on the " grown up " rides. I explained how much you loved them, and your excitement, and detailed explanations of each ride helped Abby. I told her how when the ride was over, she wanted " to try it again " - as she said to all of us. The OT right away was so excited, she asked me about Abby's speech. She explained to me that the part of the brain that controls speech is also effected by vestibular movement(s). And that they are interconnected. She further told me that Abby's excitement, was probably due to the " Ahhhh finally I get the right sensory input " And that Abby has been craving this. Also, as I was waiting for OT to be over, I ran into Abbys neuro-dev ped. I explained to her as well. She was very impressed! I told her that we (like you) call it " ride therapy " Dawn in nj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
