Hi. My son has dyspraxia - the neurologist calls is "Motor apraxia" He is very gifted verbally and it NEVER affected his verbal skills, speech or anything. As part of his dyspraxia (and EDS), however, he can not write (he has dysgraphia). He has been getting OT at school since Kindie. The private is WAY better. The school OT doesn't do much as far as I can tell. In addition, the school OT will tell me he is way better off than he really is (not sure why - but I'll show his private OT what the school's OT comments/reports and they'll cross their eyes LOL). Neither private nor school OT has in any way cured his dysgraphia. However, private has definitely been worth it and has helped his coordination and other things immensely. So, in order to get the school OT to be less of a waste of time, I insisted they start teaching him to type during OT. We'll see how that pans out.
I would just do a letter to the school describing your daughters condition and how it affects her. Explain how it your daughters case her verbal is not affected, etc. And give the materials with that.
