[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 534863, member: 11847"] About the shoes: yes he finally puts them on the right way. It is quite recent though. Occupational Therapist (OT) has done a bit of bilateral coordination and it is not easy for him. She does not do the metronome therapy but thought it would be great for him if we could have access to eat. She worked on turning a jump rope with V and her at the opposite end so he has to be synchronized. Exercises involving crossing the midline, again not easy. She had been quite focused on gross motor, now she will focus a bit more on fine motor skills (to achieve the silverwaure goal). But you are right, it will help him for drawing, writing, etc... I had not realized the implications! Duh. LOL Is a 4 step command achievable? I really do not know at this point. He gets lost after 2 usually and everything has to be VERY quiet for him to understand what is said. Once again, probably Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) issues. Liahona, V does learn through his body. He needs to touch and feel. Probably why letters are so hard and language in general. He talks with his hands so much. He cannot talk without gestures. The Occupational Therapist (OT) wanted him to use his words only today and give her a 4 step direction (they take turn to keep it fun) and he just could not do it. When she was holding his hands, he used his feet, then his head. Of course she did not do a full body restrain. But in a way, it was quite funny. His latin side takes over. :) But Lia, you are on to something. Maybe that's why Occupational Therapist (OT) sessions are so beneficial for him: he learns by doing. But even knowing that, does not always make life easier. [/QUOTE]
