well shoot. I can't tell if my post went through or not. If so, sorry for the repeat.
No, Trinity, the district refuses to recognizes the OT need. I'm doing OT it him myself using guidelines from a pediatrician friend of ours.
The district also doesn't understand that they dyspraxia is really "severe asynchronous development" of a highly gifted kid. They don't understand they CAN be a difference in this kid. The neuropsychologist (who is a gifted specialist) said his body, muscle control, vision, sensory perception and motor planning are very young, but that she expects it to come together for him. She says really its a good thing for him because his body still has the ability to mature. Most kids don't get intervention until after that ability window is closing.
We, btw, were in a tornado the other night. We are fine and our house only lost a window, but a little neighbor girl was killed and many homes in the neighborhood have had to be demolished. It is horrid. It has been a stressful week while we help our poor homeless neighbors. It is all so sad.
