Ds has HFA, dyspraxia, hypermobility and sensory processing disorder. Recently we were offered sessions with an OT and were very happy. The sessions didn't go that well tbh. She seemed rather clueless about HFA and kept pushing ds to do things he clearly found difficult, writing etc in quite a restricted way. Ie sit down and practise your letters. Write letters in chalk on a board etc. He hates the feel of chalk on his fingers and got more and more stressed each week when she asked him to do it. On the last session it was hot and on the way in he told me he had a site throat but we were there so I took him in anyway.
About 20 minutes after becoming progressively more agitated, he melted down, he started throwing things round, refused to co-operate and called her a "stupid lady". On the scale of meltdowns I have witnessed from him this was about a 4 out of 10.
I removed him before it could get any worse. So I received the report and in it she has described ds as "naughty, with no understanding or acceptance of his naughtiness" and "he became progressively more mischievous" culminating in saying that he had been "verbally abusive".
I am so angry and upset. This report has already been circulated to ALL professionals involved with ds. I emailed her immediately to tell her I was unhappy with her choice of words and questioned whether or not she had any understanding of HFA in children and recommended she peruse the NAS website. I also forwarded a copy of my email to the professionals on the distribution list whom I had email addresses for.
I am not overreacting am I? Have I done the right thing? Taken the correct steps? The language was just so negative and wasn't a clear representation of what actually went on at the appointments. Any thoughts most welcome.
