What Does It Mean When a Child Has “Occupational Therapy”?

Question by G H: What does it mean when a child has “occupational therapy”?
Does it mean he is mentally challenged?
Or can any child have it?

Best answer:

Answer by Gracinda
There could be a lot of reasons why a child would have OT.
OT’s work with kids who have had injuries to their arms and hands, or who have sensory problems and have trouble regulating their responses to the environment and as well as kids who have intellectual delays.

Can You Please Proof Read This for Me?

Question by Adam B: Can you please proof read this for me?
My name is Farhan (Faith) Aden. I came to the United States of America in 1999 with my family. I was 14th years old. I came out as gay/transgender to my family, and immediately my family put me out and disowned me. I ended up staying with this strange family, they weren’t strange after all. This family said I can stay with them and finish high school. Miracles do happen. In 2007, I found out that I was HIV positive which was shocking news. I became hopeless and helpless. I thought my life was absolutely over. I was wrong.
I started drinking every day, in other words, alcohol became my best friend. I spent every penny I had on alcohol. If I didn’t have the money to purchase alcohol, I would find a way to get it. Recently, I realized that alcohol was ruined my life and I only had two options, live or die. I chose to live. Today, I have a great sponsor and attend AA meetings. My life has a meaning today. AA has given me real friends and so much of what I have today. Today, I am a recovering alcoholic, and I do not miss alcohol a bit. Thanks to my Higher Power whom watches over me and keeps me sane.
Few months back, I was in chemical dependency treatment, and a prior to my graduation from the program, my counselor asked me if I knew where I was going after treatment, off course my answers was no. He recommended me to go to Whittier Clinic and speak with a social worker. I called the social worker and made an appointment with her in the same week. In short, she told me about Lydia apartments, and said, “I think you will be quality their program. She continued talking and said, I need to get all your medical records and your therapist name and phone #.” I signed releases of information and about a week later, she called me and said, “Faith, this is Theresa, I just wanted to let you know that I have submitted your application to Lydia Apartments.” I said, thank you so much Theresa.
About a week later, I received a phone called from Lydia Apartment, and two days later, I was at Lydia Apartments doing my intake. Then I met Jeremiah, housing manager. Jeremiah helped me tremendously throughout the housing process. He gave me his undivided attention and I can’t thank him enough.
All in all, I am extremely happy that I have found Lydia Apartments. Special thanks to all staff, especially the ones I have worked with. Thank you!

Will the US Army Disqualify Me for a “History of Depression” That Was Found During Family Therapy?

Question by Hexagon Sun: Will the US Army disqualify me for a “history of depression” that was found during family therapy?
Ok. Here’s what’s happened. My recruiter forgot to mention that I did not have to disclose any psychiatric counseling I have undergone if it was strictly for family issues, and naturally I told them about it (fraudulent enlistment is frightening). At MEPS, I was “permanently disqualified” for a “history of depression” found in the family therapy records (the family therapy lasted for 6 months and 6 days). My recruiter then (I assume) applied for a waiver because within two weeks I was back at MEPS to undergo a Psychiatric Consult. The date of this Psych Consult was June 16th. While at MEPS, I took a peek inside my medical folder and the top page said “Permanently disqualified for history of depression” (so why was I back at MEPS for a Psych Consult?).The psychiatrist told me at the end of the consult that he believed I have no significant psychiatric issues that would impair my ability to serve in the armed forces. However, I received a letter from the Medical Officer at the MEPS station claiming I am “permanently disqualified for history of depression” that was typed 2 days after my Psych Consult. My recruiter has yet to receive the “email from the Office of the Surgeon General” that will supposedly be the final word as to whether I am disqualified or not, and has told me everyday for the last week that he will receive the email “tomorrow around noon” (I’m not complaining about him, I understand these things may take some time to process).
