Thank you aculady...what helpful information!
I will sent off the request tomorrow.
Also, I just received the packet for an OT eval. When the office called, she asked if I had requested an eval through the school. I explained to her that when my son was in kindergarten, I verbally requested one. The answer the school gave me was in order to receive OT services, he would have to have another problem, like speech. She then told me to request, in writing, an OT eval. through the school.
In addition, when my son was 1st grade he had eye surgery for strabismus/wandering eye. After the surgery, his reading improved slightly. Lately, it has been wandering a little more. The Dr. says it is still in the normal range and they are closely monitoring it. Is anyone familiar with this?
One thing I'm concerned about is the fact that he still doesn't know his left from his right. He also doesn't have a concept of time. Could this be dyslexia? If so, where would I go to get an evaluation? I asked his PCP, and he referred me to someone that was unable to help. Will the school be evaluating for this?
Well, I'm off to write the school for an eval and fill out my paperwork for the OT eval...wish me luck!
One last thing, can someone figure the GAI? I tried based on the subtest scores and what I come up doesn't look right? Thanks!
