[QUOTE="Crista, post: 123709, member: 4636"] If your son already has an IEP and has trouble with early childhood skills like buttoning, shoe tying, and other simplistic fine motor skills, I would think your school would have already done an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. In the state, or at least the 3 school disricts I have worked in, we always do a thorough speech and language evaluation, IQ evaluation, academic testing, and Occupational Therapist (OT) - PT evaluations if the student is having difficult with fine and gross motor activities that effect their school performance. Usually we have Occupational Therapist (OT) have a dr. request and perscription for the evaluations in Occupational Therapist (OT) -PT. I don't know about the state you live in, but here we can't just take a letter from a parent, You can write one with your request, but you should have your physician write a request and a prescription for an endepth evaluation. This could be for Occupational Therapist (OT), PT, Speech anything you and the Dr. think your son needs. Remember, the school has to provide the services your son needs to be successful in school, and since he is over 14, they have to provide transitional services to help him be sucessful after he graduates. Good luck, and I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
