[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 381170"] So, E and I went for the evaluation with the occupational therapist today. Guess what? He caught a tennis ball even one handed. Granted, it was done in such a way as to make it [I]very[/I] easy, but he did it, just the same. He was very cooperative with them in general, but they also talked to him in a way no regular teacher could or most people ever would. Like he was much younger, really. The only sign of ODD was when he refused, repeatedly, to high five the therapist. It was very much intentional, not a sensory thing just a silent NO, but it was no big deal and became a joke. The whole thing was very interesting, but I won't know the results until I see her report. I don't even have a very good idea of how he did because I'm not sure what everything they did means. He may have gotten answers right (and some wrong), but it's more important how he came about doing so. Know what I mean?? She did reccomend that I take him swimming. ALOT. He needs to build muscle tone and she thinks that would be an excellent way for him to do so. I am hopeing the local rec center might have some kind of swimming lessons I can get him involved in, or maybe I can work something out with one of local hotels that has an indoor pool. I work with a girl who manages a hotel, but I'm not sure if they have an indoor pool. I'll ask. Oh, they also told me to get a "wiggle pad" seat cushion for him. They said it helped him a great deal to sit straighter and focus. I'm wondering if I can get maybe a small inflatable pillow and make one, just not blow it up all the way? Well, that's all that's new, for now. [/QUOTE]
