Okay, I understand what the school was saying. I suppose I should have already realized that is why they found no need, because he doesn't need it in school.
Seriously, I don't think I want to seek out private Occupational Therapist (OT). I don't know if he needs it. I still think that neuropsychologist was a quack :hammer:
I used the Leggo's as an example, HMHH, but it's alot of things that just require thought or any motor skills/hand & eye coordination, etc. Dylan LOVES Leggos, asks for them on birthday and Christmas lists, but when you give him the book with the color photos and step by step directions, he goes blank. Same with the K'Nex. He sees the photo. He sees what he has to do. He picks up the stuff, and he goes blank? What's that all about? Same thing with puzzles. Although, interestingly enough, when he was 3, he could do 100 piece puzzle ALONE! Now, blank.
Teacher said he has no self esteem and could possibly be an attention seeking type of thing. He doesn't think he can do anything on his own. For example, she gives her lesson in the classroom, as soon as she gives the assignment from the lesson, Dylan is running to the aide. He (supposedly) can't do anything independently.
His writing is severely sloppy too, although everyone claims that's "normal boy". Okay. Don't call me complaining or send home stupid little notes then that his homework was sloppy or you can't read his assignment! Either you want to work on it or you don't, right?
I have no clue what the whole scope of Occupational Therapist (OT) is. I thought maybe it would be beneficial to him in the classroom, but it's not something I'm willing to add into our schedule on a private basis. As if we have time.
Trying to figure out this kid, what he needs, what he doesn't, what's for real and what's a bunch of manipulative play from him is really something. Maybe some day I can write a book and be rich and famous on this kiddo :rofl:
