Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 My son had his OT eval yesterday. He has PDD NOS and had OT since 2. The OT wrote some goals upon D/C. The OT yesterday agreed that his tone was low and he fell a lot but said he did not qualify because his fine motor was age appropriate. He copied the cross but holds the pen in a fisted position. My daughter did the same thing when she was 3 except refused to copy the cross. But she could have. He stacked the blocks and laced the string. He is not potty trained, cannot feed himself with a fork/spoon for long, cannot undress completly and cannot dress himself. He gets very distracted during selfcare and needs max verbal cues. He is a sensory seeker and seeks out proprioceptive input to organize his system. She said he trips because he is not paying attention. I pointed out that he cannot track with his eyes only and she said that skill does not occur until 5 or 6. I asked why OT does not address selfcare and she said those are goals of the special ed teacher. I said that I requested him to be in special ed because of his needs but was given a second denial this week. This OT said that she heard that he was doing well with ST. I said he has a large vocabulary but does not communicate with other children. He has been in a group setting for only 3 weeks and there is much progress to be made. I want to appeal these decisions but feel that he is being pushed aside because they do not have services for high functioning kids. We are moving to a better district in July. Should I fight this now or wait til we move and request an evaluation in the new district? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
