My DS8 just started OT at school. I thought it was just for fine motor issues. The OT tells me she is working actually working on 3 identified issues:
balance, fine motor, and "organization."
She said that often kids with his set of coordination issues also have problems with organization and messiness. That is certainly true with him. Is there really some sort of connection, and if so, do you know of any books I could read on this subject that might give strategies to help at home?
Also, she said it would make sense to start teaching him to type. We tried two years ago in first grade, with a program we bought through Scholastic Book club. He hated it and only did it once. Any recommendations for a teach typing program for an eight year old with fine motor issues? Also, any ways to motivate him to learn typing, and keep him at it?
