I think OT eval is better than nothing, but do fill out the paperwork for the developmental eval, you never know when a last minute cancellation is coming your way. And they should be flattered that you are traveling Internationally.

Anyway, back to OT, do sign up. In advance read a few books so you'll know what to observe and ask about. Read:

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Processing Disorder, Revised Edition by Carol Kranowitz and Lucy Jane Miller

and to get started now, read:

The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, Revised Edition: Activities for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder by Carol Stock Kranowitz

But those didn't really sound like my child until I read a few of the articles from -

Uniquely Gifted : Identifying and Meeting the Needs of the Twice Exceptional Student (An Avocus Advocacy in Education Title) by Kay Kiesa and Kiesa Kay
