just had Billy's OT evaluation
He needs help with his core strength, fine motor (which I knew) and maybe seeking pressure. She is recommending twice a week. My heart breaks for my little guy that things are so much harder for him. Not fair!

Re: just had Billy's OT evaluation
Those skills may be more gross motor rather than fine motor which is usually a physical therapist, rather than occupational therapist. At least in the schools that is what I have seen.
I'm sorry
But you're being the best mommy you can by noticing and reacting...
At least you are aware and getting him intervention. Plus Im sure they will teach you some techniques to use at home.
The OT i work with always encourages a white dry erase board to help them with writing letters and have them learn top to bottom. There are different scissors for different stages if he has trouble cutting. You can also do practice with hiding things in playdoh, and only taking out with one hand. You can make a piggy bank out of a coffee can top making it more challenging to put the money in. Give him the money to hold, different sizes, and have him use only 1 hand and his fingers to bring money from palm to fingers and put in bank. Its challenging! You can do one coin then two or three to put in at once.
Anyway my point is, I know you work with him at home so Im sure he will do great once you get therapy suggestions!
it's hard when they need extra help- but he's getting and he'll do great... a few years from now you won't remember it all
I have gray's first child study team meeting tomorrow... so i feel your pain!

Rutherford is doing a complete work up. They already provide speech and I asked for the OT evaluation. I can not say enough about the district!
