[QUOTE="vtheartmama, post: 401353, member: 10980"] Thanks everyone, I think I will look into getting additional consults for my daughter..the school did an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for her, a whole 1 page that used 1 test, the Peabody one, and said she had above average motor skills but low average visual hand/eye coordination like lacing etc. The report was not very informative. I am not impressed with the EIS in my area, my son came out of P.T with problems his Neuropysch (the one that said he has a Non-specified emotional disorder) noted and requested he go back into P.T, but I never got a call back from the local program and decided if it got worse I would have to go non-local. So far it's stable. In addition, my daughters scoliosis was missed by her GP, the Ortho specialist I requested she see because I had concerns, and my son's P.T when I asked her to look at her. She was diagnosed a year to late for total correction. So anyways, my faith in the medical system is a little shaky. Reading other posts and I am begining to wonder about high functioning autism. She does not make eye contact when talking, if she does it is for a few seconds before she looks away..(I actually have this same problem just never really thought about it before, it's really hard for me to keep eye contact with people for some reason, it just seems too intense) . Great idea to start keeping a list as I notice things..this way I can have something to refer to in front of the doctor instead of looking like a complete moron..I do want my kids to just be kids with-o labeling them with a bunch of stuff but I also want them to learn behaviors that will let them grow up and have a great life with-o feeling like a social outcasts...
