I can't begin to say what starting Occupational Therapy at Therapy Solutions For Children has meant for my son and family. A year ago my son would fall into a 45 minute meltdown at spilling 4 drops of water on him. Trying to put socks on him was a constant battle. Trying new sports and activities evoked a sense of terror and tears of epic proportions. However in one year my son is climbing rocks, hiking on uneven trails, swimming in the ocean and playing in sand. He is actually asking to try fishing, joining soccer teams and instead of multiple emotional outbursts lasting 45 minutes to an hour weekly we have maybe one a month. My son was born two months premature and has been in infants and toddlers and child find and while the state services are outstanding it wasn't till we started going to therapy at Therapy Solutions for Children in addition to county services that we noticed a change.
Our journey to Therapy Solutions began because We were told by Kennedy Kreiger Institute that my son would "outgrow" this behavior. Meanwhile he is so agitated at sounds of buses and sirens he sometimes would become physically ill and throw up. Children are mocking him as he responds to crowding and play by crying hysterically. It was clear he needed help. At the advice of our pediatrician we were referred to Therapy Solutions For Children and haven't regretted a day since we started. My husband and I are optimistic for the first time since he was born five years ago that one day his developmental delays from his prematurity will be completely unknown. He is keeping up physically and emotionally with kids his own age. This place has really worked miracles for my family and I know that it is the OT my son has revived here that will ensure his long term success as he copes with his sensory integration delays. I truly truly can not tell you how much this place has meant for me and my family's future. read more
