Interesting comments, makes me think. Thank you. The OT did some testing. She did the TVPS-3. He scored poorly on the Visual Closure subtest, age equivalence 4 years, 0 months. He scored at his age range on the other subtests except for Visual Spatial Relationships, age equivalence 10 years 7 months. The explanation on the report says that Visual Closure is an important skill for reading. This confuses me since reading is his strength, yet he scored low on Visual Closure.
On the Sensory Processing Measure - Preschool (not sure why preschool because he is in elementary) the school scored him at best "some problems", and for Balance and Motion and the Total score, he scored "Definite Dysfunction".
The psych has told me more than once that he does not have learning disabilities, that it he has typical qualities of gifted children. However, she did refer us to the OT. I'm confused.
I asked my son if it is the act of handwriting that is difficult for him, or thinking of what to write. He said it is thinking what to write. This is something that I had never considered, he talks nonstop and he has ideas galore. Hmmm.
