[quote=Anonymous]How are her fine and gross motor skills? Have you tried OT?

In my experience with a possibly similar kid, the time from 3.5 to 5 really revealed a lot about how he is the same and different from other kids. I think when you enroll in public school you'll get better feedback from teachers, and see how her differences affect her learning, if at all.

An evaluation sounds like it would be a good idea - what is your DH's issue with that?

I note that you sound very frustrated with her, which is reason to get therapy for yourself.

You do have time. Nothing of what you describe sounds like an emergency. I was happy we started OT at 4 because it set my son up to do better in K and helped his coordination, and therefore his playing and socializing. But I think waiting until 5 would not have been terrible. That said, I am glad we got everything set up before K so he didn't loose part of that year.

One reason I'm glad we started getting services early is that it helped me feel more at ease, and gave me more support and feedback myself. My DH did not obstruct me from getting services and evals, although he was uninvolved. He'd fight me when I tried to discuss my worries, but when it came down to it, I just informed him I was going for the eval and that was that.
