Thanks for the replies!
Mamabear - here the OT seems to be possible as a stand alone but only if it's impacting the ability to learn - there's language they use for that and I can't recall it. In fact the teacher who is urging us to do this said he might not qualify for services because of the lack of harm.
What we really want from this is the answer to whether he is below standard for K rather than gifted K in fine motor - DeeDee and Aculady - do you think the school OT would be qualified to do that? And what the problem is if there is one. We might ultimately need to evaluate for dyslexia or dysgraphia but from what I read it's just too early to tell now.
The interesting part is that the psych indicated that she would be willing to do the WISC at a later date and basically let us use the earlier WPPSI results for whatever form she needs to fill out now. She seemed nice and gave me her experience and credentials to support why I should let her her do it. But it was a bit weird and she didn't know Davidson. She indicated it would be better to wait until 7 as he is just 6, which is what our plan was).
Grinity - the school advocating is interesting, it's a gifted school, but I don't yet see much opportunity to advocate for more. My concern is that they would use the writing issues to not grant more. But there is no option for skip, possibly for subject acceleration but I doubt it. Although teacher indicated the priniciple is aware and has weighed in with suggestions, not sure if she is just that involved or they are having special conversations about him.
