Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Problem with OT because of giftedness?

Thanks everybody for the calm and support! I think the Vision eval will be the next step but for right now we are ok not doing that. I do think I will start trying to do more puzzles and shapes things, but age appropriate and see how that goes. But as wonderful as your support has been, I feel so much better for another reason, for the first time, DS brought home written, in gorgeous green crayon, I love you. He did it all by himself! His teacher spelled it for him, he did anoer one without her which said I luv u, all by himself!! This is the kid who wailed about not being able to do it, not wanting to write. Today he brought home piles of stuff!!! So I don't know if it's the OT, our changed focus, or the combo effect of those plus school. But this was wonderful!!! And he was so delighted to see and feel our praise for sticking with it.

But I do think that Eleanor05 is right, I need to keep an eye on the OT in terms of not producing other problems or just making us both uncomfortable. But if it's just me, i can deal.
