Thanks all!
DeeDee Funny you mention giftedness and his lack of interest in the assignments, that's probably the one area I don't think it's giftedness,it's his personality. He doesn't think the assignments are important and so resists them, or does the bare minimum so I am concerned that the OT picked up a lot of that rather than him trying his best and having trouble - although we have seen him having trouble where he wants to do it well
MoN the part that troubled me was mostly about social, sensory behavioral stuff rather than the writing. He is very social at lunch, he does group work, etc but it just felt like they were pathologizing how he prefers to do his own thing at recess. Like he can't play rather than choosing not to and that's it's wrong to choose not to. I don't know, it just reminded me too much of the preschool teachers wanting him and others in the class to be like an ideal they had rather than who they are.
I think I am just apprehensive and uncertain what all this will mean. And I think I have heard too many bad stories about these meetings!
Thanks for talking me down!
