Hello: I received the following message from the OTnow web site. I am NOT a pediatric therapist and fell less than qualified to address this person's question about what an OT might do.
Some, please send me a basic response that I can forward to this consumer. Or perhaps, it will be better if I just direct the consumer to someone's e-mail address. Thanks for any help!

A FEW MINUTES BACK IN THE ARMS AND SHE IS BACK dc> ASLEEP. WHAT WOULD AN OT DO TO HELP THIS SITUATION? HOW DOES AN OT dc> DIFFER FROM A PHYSICAL THERAPIST. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND, ON THE NET, dc> ANY DEFINITION OF AN OT. IT IS ALL VERY VAGUE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
