[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 526964, member: 455"] Bunny I have fought this battle too. First I got refused for years for Occupational Therapist (OT). Finally I did get school to do Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation after I think it was a 3 year battle (different schools). When it was done the Occupational Therapist (OT) found that young difficult child had an "irreproducible" (her word) way of holding his pencil that was causing hand fatigue making it difficult for him to write a lot. Additionally he struggles with being able to write (language arts) as he moved from different school districts that taught different things jumping stepping stones in the process. (still battling the schools over this one). I still fight them now over the fact that yes, he will test high and the teachers all say he "can" write but chooses not to. Unless a "teacher" sits on top of him, he won't do it and when they do it stresses him out and of course he does it though it's really not what it should be. It's just a "piece" to hand it to them that they accept so they can pass him on. At home it's a all out battle that I no longer fight at all, any homework, as it turned into hours and hours and rages. So not worth it when there is more important battles to be fought. Actually the war (I pick and choose battles and look at the war I'm winning. I'd rather win the war then the battle). I'd keep trying and if possible seek outside evaluation. I know with other difficult child I had to do that for her auditory issues since school refused. Independent did find something as well. [/QUOTE]
