For my capstone I interviewed 2 children and their parents. 1 child previously did OIT but had to stop because she developed a health condition called EOE from it, and the other child is still doing OIT right now. I got a lot of information from both of my interviews, and I think both went great!

One thing I learned is that OIT is a very long process that is not enjoyable for kids. I also learned that the kids and parents point of views of OIT were very different. For example when I asked the question: Do you like OIT? Why or why not? The kids answered very differently than the parents. The kids would say: I don’t like OIT because it’s annoying to do everyday. The parents would say: I like OIT because it lets me know that in case something happens I know my kid will be safe. That is all I will be sharing for now but I will get further into detail in my final project.
