The first day consisted of an evaluation performed by an occupation therapist. The occupational therapy evaluation was completed to assess fine motor and gross motor coordination, visual perception and visual motor skills, self-care skills, sensory integration, motor planning and neuromotor skills.Upon entering the room with deemed lighting, filled with a small amount of toys, Landon immediately begin to observe his surroundings. He became engaged as she pulled different toys to his attention. He did activities such as releasing items into horizontal and verticle slots, and/or containers, cup stacking, scribbling on paper with hand over hand direction, and fine finger grasping. Eventually the evaluation was moved from this room to the therapy room where the therapist attempted to place Landon on the swing, which was made of a tire rim and rope, but he appeared to be uncomfortable with this and was removed back onto the floor. We then placed Landon into the ball pit where he immediately showed his interest by laughing out loud. The remainder of the evaluation continued with an electronic questioned based test for Dad and I to answer according to Landon's ability. We finished with the therapist reading and reviewing some of her scores from the Mullen Scale for Early Learning. And last she voiced some recommendations and told us the conclusion of the evaluation will be based upon the next two evaluations to be done the following day.
