[QUOTE="SRL, post: 106296, member: 701"] School isn't the ideal place to have Occupational Therapist (OT) testing because they only assess for those issues that impact educational performance. It's better than nothing but they won't do anything for his issues on the homefront and for treatment to work best it must be coordinated between home and school. You would need a private pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) and where to find those depends on your area. University or Children's Hospitals, Easter Seals, and in larger cities you can sometimes find Occupational Therapist (OT) clinics, often in conjunction with a speech clinic. our pediatrician may be able to refer you and actually would need to make a referral for insurance purposes. You might try contacting the nearest Autism Society chapter and see who families there recommend. Parent to parent recommendations often yield good sources.
