I went to group OT with Whitney because her sitter did not show up to take her. I was quite impressed. She got a lot of attention because she was the youngest one there. They had play time, snack time, gym time, craft time, and music time. Whitney was able to participate in a lot. Now I know where she has picked up some new signs and games.
She kept putting her hand over her face during group. I didn't catch it for a LONG time; I can be dense. She was saying she was sleepy, a sign we have been working on for a long time. As soon as I recognized it and verbalized her need, she stopped being fussy and joined in the rest of the time, although she was very sleepy.
They had a mirror song where they held a mirror up to each child, then had them hit a big button that said "good morning to you". They came around to Whitney, she LOVED the mirror, then hit the big button just like everyone else. I almost cried. It was very emotional.
