 We're taking Parker
to be evaluated
by a occupational therapist.
 I'm glad that we're
taking this step,
and I'm hoping that
we just come away
with it with a
better understanding
of how we can help her.
 We're going to go take you
to see a new doctor today.
Yeah.
She's kind of like a doctor.
She's going to ask
you some questions.
Can you talk to her?
Mom and dad are
going to go with you.
 You know, this appointment
is for us as well.
Danielle and I have sort of
been on opposite sides of this,
so it'll be good to see
someone so that they
can guide us through it.
Hello.
SUSAN ZAPF: Hi.
How are you all?
 All right.
 I'm Dr. Zapf.
Hi, Parker.
How are you?
ADAM BUSBY: Can you give a
handshake or a high-five?
 Parker hates new things
and being in the spotlight,
and here we are, dropping
her into this situation
where it's all about her.
It kind of feels backwards.
 I'm an occupational therapist.
Our whole goal is to help
children participate in life.
And one of the occupations
that they do is play.
That's how they learn.
That's how they
develop and grow.
And so, that's what
we're going to look at.
DANIELLE BUSBY: You know,
like with the gymnastics,
I mean, she can, like,
be completely fine,
and then the freaking
out and crying.
SUSAN ZAPF: OK.
 It's just really random.
SUSAN ZAPF: And that's what
we want to try to tease out.
What is that?
Why is it happening?
Parker is sweet.
You could tell she is shy.
Can you come sit on it with me?
I'll hold you.
What do you think?
Do you want dad
to be next to you?
When I would ask her questions,
she really didn't respond.
She would look
towards her parents.
Ready?
Let's see you with dad.
Whoa!
There she goes.
So I was trying to get her to
play and get her comfortable
so I could see what's
going on with her
and why she was shutting down.
