[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 114068, member: 1233"] I would definitely go through with the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. It can't hurt him, and it certainly could give you tools to help him. At the very least ask if brushing would help, even just to relax him. We do brushing with my youngest, and even with the older 2 when they seem really agitated. Heck, I find it can really help ME! If you end up needing to order Occupational Therapist (OT) supplies, PM me and I will send a really good Occupational Therapist (OT) supply site. As for the school, I would certainly NOT send him back. If the person in charge of the school has so little control that she leaves a mark on a child for kicking a chair while sitting in it, how on EARTH is this place going to teach good social skills??? Seems outrageous to me. I would lodge a complaint. Maybe a 2-3 day mother's day out program would be good? My son went to one and loved it. It was mornings 2 days a week, just time to have coffee with a friend or run an errand or sit in the park and chill. The people in charge were retired from the early childhood center at the university (the director was a retired professor emeritus - and amazing!!).You also might tap into homeschool networks/groups in the area. NOT that he needs to be schooled, but that the gatherings are pretty low key, often it is all the kids with mom, so there are some in each age group to play with. Have a good trip! [/QUOTE]
