[quote=Anonymous]DS had some very mild motor delays as a toddler, and he caught up quickly with PT and speech therapy. I am talking about crawling and walking and getting sounds correct. As he got older, he was not distinguishable from his peers. In fact, he is highly verbal with beautiful speech. He is quite agile on playground equipment. He is now 7, and old enough for kiddie soccer and basketball. His skills are quite good when he isn't running or doesn't have to reach a ball. But his running is SLOOOOOW, and his reaction times are also slow. He will sort of watch the ball go by him. He doesn't get into the thick of trying to get to a ball. I think this is related to the early motor delays. What is the best way to help him? He is really far outgrown the need for a PT or OT - we've had him evaluated annually by a developmental pediatrician. The difference is now very subtle but its there again in the form of running speed and reaction time. It frustrates him. Advice? [/quote]
