[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started OT at age 1 and continued it all the way through HS. His handwriting is still incredibly lousy, and he is no good at sports- but he types, drives a car, and gets along ok. Some OTs with MCPS were better than others- the best one was actually a certified occupational therapy assistant who really helped him a lot in 4/5 grade. [/quote]

What type of ot did your child get in hs? Our county is trying to get us to drop ot  support for hs.[/quote]

In high school: they still kept working on handwriting. Worked on seating and positioning at desks (he was pretty low tone and sometimes needed a footstool under his desk to put feet on).  Worked on organizational skills- setting up and using binder etc.  worked on keyboarding. Worked on adapting math assignments so that he could use the compass and protractor. He did not need "sensory" activities.  His issues were more with "tool" usage.

As an adult now he still has bad handwriting. Took him forever to learn to drive. The whole visual motor thing was problematic. [/quote]
