Question on upcoming eval.

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone can advise me on the eval. I know toe walking

is asd? but having the mild cerebral palsy it could easily be from that

also. My son wears braces to try to straighten his legs,feet and hips

into the right position. What I am wondering is should he wear his

braces and derotation strap to the eval? I know they are aware of the

cp but Im not sure what to about that.

If he usually wears the braces, then he should wear them. If not, take them along in case they want to see them. You can often ask them when making the appointment what they prefer.

, they'll tell you what they want. The main thing you need to

worry about is supplying comprehensive background information when

they ask. Make sure you have all his school records and previous

evaluations and anything else that might be helpful. I took in

correspondence with teachers and school administrators to show the

type of issues we were getting at school. If they haven't asked you

for anything, I would call and ask if there is any paperwork you can

do ahead of time. It often takes a lot longer than they think, and it

is better to do it at home with all your resources at your fingertips,

if they'll let you.

I don't think toe walking always means kids have Aspergers, I know of three people that walked on their toes and they don't have Aspergers. pj

I think toe walking is a sign of sensory integration disorder, from

what I've read in books about that. Of course, many autistics have

sensory issues. But I'm sure not all kids with sensory issues are

autistic.

I believe toe-walking is usually a sensory thing.
