[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like there are a lot of issues across different motor skills--and the OT did a good job testing different aspects of motor development--but that doesn't necessarily mean that any of them are severe.  As one PP said, kids develop at all different rates in different areas in the early years, so it may just be that this is where he or she is lagging at the moment.  It's good to have an idea of where your child is lagging so you can provide assistance to get them caught up, but don't stress too much.  If something were [b]really seriously wrong, you'd probably know it without an OT telling you[/b].

My kid had most of those things.  3 years later, we're still struggling with fine motor (but it's not terrible -- he can dress himself and write messily), and we're now on medication for the attention issues.  The sensory stuff we continue to struggle with, although some of it has improved a lot.  [/quote]

I disagree.  An OT can't diagnose things.  A developmental pediatrician can.[/quote]
