[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 519856, member: 11791"] School Occupational Therapist (OT) will [I]only cover[/I] those things absolutely directly and obviously related to school... such as fine motor skills affecting writing. Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation needs to cover a broader base, and is important to get done outside of school. Sensory issues, for example, can have a huge impact (including on school), but school won't test for that. School Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) on the other hand, MAY be a different story. Depends on how far they are "allowed" to go. For a minimum, you will need to know exactly which tests were done, and the detailed results, so that you can evaluate whether an outside Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation is necessary. In our area, schools won't do an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation after age 8 - it's "assumed" that if there is a problem it will be caught by then... its mostly a way of controlling the budget.
