Babbs, according to his prechool teachers this evening, he is perfectly normal and there is no problem with his speech..Yeah right!
Sammy is in therapy 3 days a week and they are working on at least 15 deficiancies (SP) We are giving it a month and if he does not start improving than he will be going there full time instead of school 2 days a week. We have our ARD next week so I am going to bring up all of the Occupational Therapist (OT) and PT. I also have put in a call to the Mayo clinic in Minn to see if maybe they can help figure out what is going on with this child!
Sensory intigration has bee looked at and is not the problem. Sammy is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) so that has a lot of behavioral problems and it was written in the school report that he is at risk for ODD and BiPolar. I do agree, Self help skills do indeed affect learning in the classroom. We were trying to show Sammy how to take off his won shoes which he can do if he were willing to listen and watch. The second you try to show him something or tell him something he has a mind blowing tantrum. He wants to be independant but does not have the skills!
