When ds had his OT eval about a year ago, his visual-motor speed was in the poor range (2%) and manual dexterity was below average (age equivalent 5:6-5:7 - he was 7yrs6mo at the time). His other scores were mostly average, with a few things above average or superior. How are those things measured and addressed? Would an OT do that or someone else?
With the poor visual motor scores, it would stand to reason that he would have difficulty with writing speed. We are going though a similar situation with DD7. She is now receiving Vision Therapy through a behavioral Optometrist as well as OT.
You can find a Behavioral Optometrist in your area at
www.covd.org. It cam be costly but for dd7 it has proven to be a large piece of the puzzle.
Good Luck
