[quote=Anonymous]We did both and the school was always informed and provided any reports we got from the private OT. For those who don't know, a private OT works on more 'life' skills and a school OT works more on 'educational' skills. There is some overlap, most notably in writing, use of scissors, visual/motor discrimination, etc. A private OT worked with my DS on tying his shoes - not something a school OT would typically do. A school OT worked with my DS to learn to type - a private OT could do that, too, but typing is clearly a academic need. Not knowing your DD, I'd recommend you have her evaluated privately, give the report to the school and have them evaluate her as well to see what services she may qualify for. Our kids needed the interventions from both.[/quote]
