I didn't realize there's no funding for OT under a 504. Can we legally push for it if that's all that's warrented?

We had his vision checked, and he's pretty normal. The tests and results from the OT (private practice) are as follows (I don't know how to make the columns line up, sorry):

BOT-2
Subtest - Scaled Score - Descriptive Category - Age Equivalency - Percentile Rank
Fine Motor Precision - 16 - average - 7:9-7:11 - N/A
Fine Motor Integration - 16 - average - 7:9-7:11 - N/A
Fine Manual Control - 53 - average - N/A - 62
Manual Dexterity - 9 - below average - 5:6-5:7 - N/A
Upper Limb Coordination - 15 - average - 7:0-7:2 - N/A
Manual Coordination - 43 - average - N/A - 24


DTVP-2
Subtest - Standard Score - Percentile - Age Equivalency
Eye-Hand Coordination - 10 (average) - 50 - 7 years 4 months
Position in Space - 13 (above average) - 84 10 years 7 months
Copying - 11 (average) - 63 - 8 years 7 months
Figure-Ground - 15 (superior) - 95 - >11 years 2 months
Spacial Relations - 8 (average) - 25 - 6 years 11 months
Visual Closure - 15 (superior) - 95 - >11 years 2 months

Form Constancy - 15 (very superior) - 98 - >11 years 2 months

Composite - Quantitative - Percentile
General Visual Perception - 110 (average) - 75
Motor-Reduced Visual Perception - 132 (very superior) - 99
Visual-Motor Integration - 88 (below average) - 21

In the report, she said he had difficulty with poximal stability, and his muscle tone is low normal.


The social worker in the meeting mentioned dysgraphia, so I guess the psychologist will test for that. He's supposed to have a psych evaluation and an OT evaluation (I don't know why they won't accept the one we have). I don't know if there are other motor coordination issues. He falls down a lot, but I always thought he was just messing around. He will only wear velcro shoes, pull on pants, and shirts without buttons. He is able to play computer games, zip his coat, and unlock a door with a key.

I may not have any choice but to let the private OT wait. I'd figured out a way to pay for some, but the OT where we had the eval won't have an opening until May. I called another place, and they have a 2-month wait.

I don't know how much the writing issue bothers him. He has expressed some frustration, but he never tries to get out of going to school.

Thank you for all your help.
