Client's mother reports Emma successfully completed shirt buttoning independently this morning — a functional goal target since evaluation. Client presented as engaged and motivated, immediately requesting preferred pegboard activity. No reports of pain or sensory aversion.
Client participated in 45-min pediatric OT session targeting fine motor skill development and ADL independence. Interventions included: pegboard tasks (pincer grasp, 3-jaw chuck), puzzle assembly, and simulated buttoning activity.
• Pincer grasp: functional, 3/4 pegs placed with correct grip pattern (improved from 1/4 at eval)
• Buttoning simulation: completed 3-button shirt with setup cue only (improved from maximal assist)
• Sustained attention: 8 minutes on structured task (age-appropriate)
Emma demonstrates significant progress in fine motor coordination and ADL independence, with functional carryover to home environment evidenced by independent morning dressing. Continued skilled pediatric OT is medically necessary to consolidate gains and address remaining bilateral coordination deficits.
Continue OT 1x/week. Progress to bilateral hand tasks (cutting with adaptive scissors, lacing activities). Update parent HEP to include bilateral coordination. Goal: independent with age-appropriate ADLs in 4 weeks.
