It sounds like the optometrist is picking up on an issue with touching that you, too, have noticed. However, I would wonder whether the optometrist is the best professional to do a sensory motor exam or explore overall development delay with you. Why would this be in the realm of the expertise of the optometrist? Hmmm. I would learn more about whether the this is something typically in the realm of a COVD.
