I need occupational therapy. I see videos on the internet of people in their OT office with it's sensory rooms, swings, and fancy equipment and helpful therapists. There is part of me that knows that when/if my insurance lets me get occupational therapy, it won't be half as good as it could be. I know that because I had to audacity to be born poor I will likely never get to experience the standard of care that the internet portrays.

man i hope that you are able to find an ot that works for you! in my area there were no adolescent-adult focused ot so it honestly wasn’t that great for me. but i know that if i had a good one it would have helped me a lot

And she has state insurance, so it isn't that great either.
My wife has OT and we are slowly getting her some sensory objects for her to fiddle with when she feels overwhelmed. She has texture issues both with food and objects. OT is helping her with hand/eye coordination, hand strength, and handwriting.
My terrible insurance and the inaccessible resources for my location are why I’m taking the long way and slowly building a hoard sensory items and getting a psych degree >:) /hj
Very understandable!
I think what you’ve seen is a sensory room which really should be widely available
