Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Update: met with developmental optometrist

Wow. That's huge! This could be monumental for your child. Good for you for getting an answer.

That is sort of the reaction my doctor had. DS was reading 6th grade words in the eval even with poor teaming.

His sensory issues are mostly related to "where is my body in space", balance, strength and some tactile. Tags, messy stuff, loud noises, etc. All mild individually but together make him seem out of sync.

Thanks herenow! I am hoping it helps him!

Bronalex- thanks for sharing about your ds. I keep wondering about my guy. His coping mechanism at school has been to act really silly (in k). He doesn't act this way at home at all. Yet, now as I watch him with other kids, he is shy and awkward. He wants to be liked and fears rejection. Also, he does have some sensory stuff which he compensates ok, besides the regulation stuff. Transitioning between activities. I do worry that as he gets older, he will seem more different.
Keep us posted how things are going with your ds!
