| Parents of Benny
OT sessions at FiVE has immensely benefited my six year old boy, diagnosed with hyperactivity and inadequate attention. He has actually slowed down. Now he is so much more sober and well-behaved.
Family and friends who earlier looked upon him as this "naughty", 'fidgeting', demanding kid presently find him to be very different. In fact they remark that 'something' has changed in Benny.
As his mother, I am unable to pin down in particular the changes that he has undergone. But overall I notice he is far more agreeable now, willing to listen to reason if he is not agitated /angry and has become sensitive to others needs and space.
He is more willing to listen and carry out requests, is able to independently get ready for school with cues and if 'properly' motivated will listen to and obey a normal tone request.
Also by observing how the therapists at Five manage him during the sessions, I have tried to incorporate plenty of positive reinforcement, a firm tone if he delays and more structured, purpose oriented activities to do and not just mindless play.
Thank you FiVE for all the help.
P.S – I do not have to spank him at all except once in a blue moon for very very unacceptable behaviors.
