[quote=Anonymous]Son who is now 9 I thought was always a righty when he was learning to write, but somehow his OT when he was 4 labeled him as a lefty.  He brushes teeth with his right hand, throws sometimes with right, Bats with right, eats with left.  When he first started printing, I always thought his right hand looked better.  Now it seems his handwriting has declined, even since the spring.  His father is a lefty, I am a righty.  His sister is a righty. Many lefties/ambidextrous on his father's side.  When I just had him write a sentence with his right hand, it looked more evenly spaced than left hand.  I need a really good OT recommendation who specializes in handwriting.  The homework that he has completed this week looks atrocious and I'm worried that something else is happening macro-picture-wise.  It is completely jumbled,tilting, disorganized, and he is spelling things incorrectly, including his name and simple words.  Usually he is a great speller.  When you ask him to recite one of the words he misspelled, he will say it correctly, but he writes it incorrectly.  Example:  even--&gt;evean.   Mom--&gt;Mod.   He's also confusing his words when he speaks.  There may be something else going on as well, but he really does need a good OT to intervene to help him with the writing he has to do for school.  Suggestions for Rockville/Gaithersburg/Potomac area?[/quote]
