[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 70733, member: 3820"] Hmm, as a 36 month old with a score of "physical" at 25 months? Almost a year BEHIND and no Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT specific evaluation???!!! HUGE warning signs there. Do NOT let this go much futher without either Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT to do a complete fine and gross motor evaluation. Most general development standardized tests don't even begin to scratch the surface of what information a motor development only standardized assessment and a good Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT observation can identify. Self help does affect his skills in the educational environment. If he can't use the toilet, can't get his coat on or off, having difficulty tying his shoes, etc... that Impacts a student in the educational environment. Considering that you've posted about Sammy's behavior problems, I'd also suggest that you push for a sensory integration/sensory processing assessment completed by the school Occupational Therapist (OT). This may actually explain a lot for you and for your family. [/QUOTE]
