[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you should ask for an evaluation - don't define the need yourself. I would simultaneously take him to a developmental pediatrician at Children's National and have him evaluated. Share those results with the school if they help make your case. You may hear them talk about your child's issues being "developmentally appropriate" but, do not buy it! My child was the same way at 3 and 4. He would only scribble! Still mostly scribbles after a year of OT. Turns out that in addition to a fine motor delay, he has ASD. He has issues with executive functioning and motor planning. My child does need specialized instruction, and from what you are describing, I imagine your son may as well. So, do not approach them as just needing OT services. Get a full eval to make sure all areas of needs are assessed, as required by law. Good luck![/quote]
