I've not heard of NACD. Didn't get anything meaningful to Mite when I googled it! What does it stand for?
I'm glad you found a local OT to work with him. He REALLY does need a school based OT as well. That's what I was trying to say in the other post. The school staff just don't get it. They don't understand that the OT is there to address medical issues that limit the child academically. The school based OT should be using the results of the SIPT to guide her treatment in the school setting. The dyspraxia and Bilateral integration skills need to be addressed in the school, most definitely. Like I said, they don't get it.
My guess is that the gym teacher is pretty untrained as an observer. While there may be a couple of kids like Mite (who DO need assessment like you say!) given his SIPT scores I would think that he looks qualitatively different from most of the kids. And regardless of how he looks, it has to do with whether he is happy and successful.
Hang in there - and let me know what NACD is!
