Luke was seen in his room for a 45 minute occupational therapy treatment session. Focus of treatment was on improving his bilateral integration/hand usage, fine motor development, graphomotor skills, postural control and sensory processing/organization for improved general performance in various environments. Luke has a bit of a stuffy nose but seems in good spirits at beginning of session. Began treatment with hand strengthening closthespin work to increase grip strength. Asked peer to work with Luke in his room on painting their ceramic projects together. Second day of three day ceramic vase project involved painting his designs he drew yesterday. Both painted cooperatively side by side throughout session with no issues. Shared paints and brushes and stayed well regulated throughout with appropriate peer conversation. When it was time to clean up and for Luke to go home he wanted to take the wet, unfinished vase and went to stick it in his backpack. When he was told he could not take it home he got very upset. At this point across the hall peer was instructed to go back to his room. Luke insisted on taking home vase and had difficulty regulating himself and accepting he couldn't. In the end he left without the vase, sad but calm. He needs to figure out how to use his strategies for situations like these in which he has to delay gratification and not get what he wants when he wants it. We will continue to work on self-regulation strategies in OT. When he was upset he could not "hear" the strategies so OT tried to just demo them by taking very deep obvious breaths, etc. to try to get Luke to do the same.
