First OT Goal: Brushing Teeth - Conquered!!

Mykaya has been doing so good with brushing her teeth! It used to be a battle to even get her in the bathroom to brush them because she had such a hard time. Then usually I would end up brushing them for her because we both would be frustrated. Brandi, her OT, just had 3 sessions devoted to toothbrushing and she now goes into the bathroom and does it all on her own with just a verbal cue! We have a visual chart hung up on the mirror front and center that has pictures and words to go step by step through it. Because of the amazing difference this has made for Mykaya, we will probably be implementing the same idea into her learning plan. So exciting! We found something that works :) Love OT!

Mykaya tries so hard; I'm glad she is finally getting to reap the rewards of her efforts and she can (hopefully) see the light at the end of the tunnel like we can. :)

Next goal on the agenda: showering/bathing!

With love,
The Schulz's
