I think I can help on a few....OT stands for Occupational Therapy. When you see AV it is probably in reference the heart defect called AV Canal defect. ADD I am guessing is Attention Defecit Disorder. That would be my guess, but I would have to see it used in a sentence. Hope this helps __________________ Lisa Mommy to Elayna 10-1-02 and Daniel Ds 6-7-05 Always have hope....Without rain, there can be no rainbows.

OT - Occupational Therapy ST = Speech Therapy IEP = Individual Education Plan (plan of therapies, goals, objectives, etc. decided on by parents, therapist & school district on an annual basis) ENT - Ear nose & throat doctor GI = Gastro Intestinal doctor OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ADD = Attention Deficit Disorder VSD = Ventricular Septal Defect (heart problem) AVSD = Atrioventricular Septal Defect (heart problem) SMO = supramalleolar orthosis (braces for helping with standing & walking) AFO = ankle-foot orthosis (braces for helping with standing & walking) I'm sure there are others but this is all I can think of right now [Edited by naomid on 02-28-2006 at 03:25 PM] __________________ Naomi Mum to Callum (DS) 3/03 and Kieran 8/04 Read all about us

LOL DH is Dear (or whatever word you want to start with "D") Husband. YAY is not an acronym, but the word yay (which is really spelled "yeah", but online you'll often see "yay" instead.) Here's a link to common acronyms. http://www.magicpub.com/netprimer/acronyms.html __________________ ~Leah~ mom to Noah 18, Tyler 17,Angela 9 (DS) downcues.com
