Tammy and others, Using the ABLLS right now is fine for tracking goals and a

great guideline.. It means that you should keep your eyes and ears open when

the OT suggests certain targets in gross and fine motor skills, or you use

the " hand writing without tears " program to teach letters and it give steps

to follow that the ABLLS would not mention. Rhonda
