[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3-year old (former 31 week preemie) who recently had a full eval done by early stages.  Nothing was found "wrong," but a few areas in the low, low end of normal.  He didn't qualify for any services.  We do private speech therapy for articulation.

I'm concerned about gross and mine motor skills.  He had PT was he was a baby, and with this support walked roughly on time.  When I pushed the PT at early stages, she recommended soccer or swimming to help him build strength.  What have others done with low tone kids?  With his speech and his older brother's extracurriculars and OT, we are really booked.  Does anyone particularly recommend a gym program or early soccer program?  What about ballet? Is taking him to the playground enough?  He does dance and gymnastics as part of his schooldat at daycare.  I am also worried about his handwriting because of his brother's and my DH's and the low tone.  When is a good time to work on that with an OT?  It's a hard balance between fitting in and paying for therapies, finding the right extracurriculars, and finding time to draw and do other fun/educational/muscle building activities at home.  We are on Capitol Hill.
