Nautigal, there is a test called "finger tapping" that is used in diagnosing fine motor dyspraxia - the tester taps different combinations of fingers together and asks the person being tested to copy what they see. Our ds can't do this - he tries his best, but has to look at his hand, hold it in different positions while he studies it and then inevitably taps a completely different set of fingers together.
Polar, who can diagnose dyspraxia? is that a neuropsych thing, or an OT thing?
I've never seen an OT give this test, but it sounds very revealing...
