I posted pages 2 and 7 my OT goal.

I kept my OT goal simple. Miguel didn't have a pre-school experience where many of the missing fine motor skills would have been learned. Since he was in a day care situation with many children it might have been easier for the care provider to simply dress etc the kids. Before more elaborate therapy is introduced I would rather see if he can learn them with some simple instruction. After all he can play video games. A few years ago I had a middle school student who couldn't tie his shoes, simply because no one ever taught him. He learned in about 20 minutes.

I agree with Sharon that we will need to number goals. I would suggest:

Jim Goal 1 Kim S - Goal 2 Sharon Goal 3 Kim BB Goal 4 Dina Goal 5

This is order in which group members will speak at the meeting so it makes sense to have the goals follow the same order.

Here's my input for page 8:


 * Materials/Book/Equipment** -large size lined paper, pencil grips, appropriate style of scissors
 * Instructional strategies** - During activities requiring extended fine motor skills (i.e. writing, using scissors or paste) Miguel should take frequent breaks to avoid frustration and fatigue.
 * Other** - OT will bring to individual sessions materials needed to accomplish goals (sensory board, puzzles, beads, play dough clay, games, boards and blocks to teach dressing and self care skills, and eating utensils)

I will finalize pages 2, 4 and 5 when I have everyone's comments. Again please send via email. Any news from Joan on date confirmation or conference call suggestion? Thanks.
