Occupational Therapy

We have been working with Joel for months trying to teach him to drop things.

Joel decided he really didn't like the texture of this crinkly pipe thingy.
Shannon has been working with Joel since he was four-months-old. She's great. We had a difficult day with Joel. He didn't want to do anything she tried to do with him. Some days he does great. Today was not one of those days. He's been at a plateau for months now. Shannon says he will be until he starts imitating more. He has kinda started imitating some but only things like banging and only when he wants to. He is much more focused on moving. He can't seem to hold still. Does anyone know if TSC can cause hyperactivity? (Or maybe it's the anti-seizure meds causing it?) Hopefully soon we will make some progress in OT.
