[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 86981, member: 23"] Our difficult child has motor skill delays. Occupational Therapist (OT) helped tremendously. It's my understanding that motor skills are the foundation upon which all further learning is based. If I knew then what I know now, we would have hit Occupational Therapist (OT) early and hard. I can't remember all the strategies/accommodations we used but recall a couple. Those days were so bad that I think I've tried to block them from my mind. lol One accommodation was reduced author writing and reduce clutter on worksheets. One was trying to teach difficult child to use a blank sheet of paper to cover, say half the page of math problems. Tried to teach him to use graph paper so he could learn to align numbers in a column appropriately. Tried to teach him to use ruler or half-sheet to place under the sentences he was reading. Scribing worked very well, but it's definitely not something one would want to continue indefinitely if there's therapy to improve the situation. [/QUOTE]
