Change of Therapies: Occupational Therapy

Quite often you think about the right therapy for your kid.
We have changed the occupational therapist quite often until we were happy.
This is my advice for everybody.
In the beginning we started with a general occupational therapy, but it felt like the therapist did not have a concept and could not say why she did certain things with our son.
As J. (my son) does not yet talk we tried Castillo-Morales (http://www.castillomoralesvereinigung.de/  pages available in English). But it did not really fit J.'s needs. Additionally our therapist cancelled the sessions. Therefore the continuity was missing.

We got a hint to try the Affolter Therapy. This really looks good to us (our therapist is not too dogmatic but adjusts the therapy to our son.
Since J. has started this training he really improves (eventhough the steps are really small).

Therefore: If you feel you do not have the right therapist - make a change!
