[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 533747, member: 1550"] What is the Occupational Therapist (OT) going to do for communication? I thought a speech therapist did that, including sign language. Can you legally be dropped for lack of progress? I never heard of that! Calling Buddy!!!! Buddy, you are needed! Does V. have an IEP? This sounds fishy to me. I mean, if they can help him, good, but he should still be getting speech. K, I do not really think this is just about processing issues. My daughter had both visual and auditory processing issues and she could still talk and play. She had a lot of trouble following directions, because she'd forget or not process, but she had a great imagination and always played right with toys and was very popular with her peers. Reading was her biggest nemesis. I think you need to look beyond what the Occupational Therapist (OT) is saying...she is not qualified to make a determination on what is going on. An Occupational Therapist (OT) should not be the main go-to person. She needs a neuropsychologist or psychiatrist. They have more knowledge than an Occupational Therapist (OT), who is specialized in one area. The school in my opinion is not doing it's job. You may need to get an advocate. [/QUOTE]
