It's good to know that Adrian "graduated" from the physiotherapy session at DK yesterday. Today, we were off to DK again for a fine motor skills assessment performed by an Occupational Therapist. The therapist wanted to see how Adrian is doing after 8 classes of group trainings. It's the same assessment as the initial one except that Adrian was 25 months old back then and now he's 33 months old. Adrian was assessed based on things that a 33 months old toddler is supposed to do. Mama sat beside Adrian and watched how he did during the whole test without interruption. Adrian did well on most of the tasks meaning he's improved a lot when compared to the last assessment. The therapist computed the scores in the end and on a scale from 1 - 100 (Full mark is 100; passing range is 27-100), Adrian scored 27 - right on the passing mark!!!! Mama was already very pleased with the result but thought if Adrian scored 1 mark below (i.e. 26), he would have the opportunity to go for another 8 classes of group trainings!!! The therapist was kind enough that she'd shared some tips on ways/games to enrich Adrian's skills... Well, we are pleased to say Adrian "graduated" from this occupational therapy session and he no longer requires to go for fine motor skills trainings (the oral motor skills training will continue though).
