This question is probably a long shot but there are others here with kids with coordination issues so I thought I'd give it a try.

DS was assessed by a private PT using the BOT assessment and I watched the assessment. I noticed that for skills involving balance, for instance standing on one foot, he seemed fine with his eyes open but when asked to close his eyes he seemed to fall apart, couldn't balance for more than a couple seconds. So his balance score fell to the level of a 5 year old (he is 9). Anyone know what that means, if there is a difference between eyes open and eyes shut? Or someone doing that poorly with their eyes shut? I didn't have a chance to ask.
