Just something to note... although DS (almost 5) did not show any "delays" in any fine motor areas, we decided to have an OT eval anyway because we were concerned that the gaps between his intellect and motor skills were bigger than I would have liked, and the NT we saw also said although they did not see any motor skill issues, if there is a gap and his skills slips below age-level, it would cause frustrations (the younger these can be addressed, the better). And although the fine motor skills were very good, what it exposed was slight delays in bilateral coordination and core strength - nothing major but could use short term work, and the OT also said even at his age, she could see he would learn so fast how to compensate for his weakness that she has to be really careful to make sure he was not figuring out how to compensate right on the spot.
