[QUOTE="Janna, post: 8279, member: 2737"] Dylan was tested with a neuropsychologist over the summer. The neuropsychologist stated he wanted Dylan to have an O.T. evaluation. I presented this to the L.I.U. (early intervention that handles Dylan's Emotional Support classroom and all therapies). They told me he was tested and found to not have a need. So, today, in the I.E.P. meeting, I ask again, what about O.T.? They tell me he was tested, and because he can hold a pencil, turn the pages of a book, etc, he is not in need. So, today, the teacher sends me this paper home. It reads: Name: Dylan XXXXXXXXX Date of Report: November 30, 2006 Occupational Therapy Dylan was observed in his classroom on November 17, 2006 to determine if there was a need for a formal occupational therapy evaluation. During class time, Dylan was able to manipulate the pages of a book independently. When writing, Dylan held his writing tool with his right hand and used the tripod grasp with a thumb wrap. He was able to place weight on his forearm when writing without cues. Dylan was also able to form his letters correctly on or within 1/8" of the baseline independently. He did not place an appropriate space beetween his words consistently when completing his writing assignment. Dylan was able to self correct his work when he did make a mistake. Dylan's educational team has stated that he is able to meet his educational goals within the classroom and that they do not have any concerns related to occupational therapy at this time. At this time, a formal Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation is not needed because Dylan is able to reach his educational goals and his educational team does not have any Occupational Therapist (OT) related concerns. Why do I think my kid is getting shafted. This guy signed him name with a COTA/L at the end. What's that?? Is this alone enough to warrant not needing Occupational Therapist (OT)? Honestly, Dylan's motor skills at home here stink. The kid doesn't "get" Leggos, or anything else that requires needing thought. The school, today, claimed he is fine. There's no need. Maybe I'm overreacting and he doesn't need it? I dunno. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks, Janna [/QUOTE]
