[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did OT with our son for handwriting issues, but he was much older, and it wasn't as effective. It helped, but I wish, wish, wish we'd done it when he was younger. He still does not write cursive, and probably never will. OT was a lot of finger strengthening exercises, most of which were fun for him. Get your son evaluated, and do get private OT. School OT can be fine, but it's hit or miss. Our son saw the private OT once a month, and it was covered by insurance. Very helpful overall, but again, we waited too long. Getting your child on the right track in K is the best time to do it. Glad you have perceptive teachers. [/quote]

Same here, exactly.

Susan Tieche of OTS in Kensington MD is great.[/quote]

We are in the same situation.  DD has been going to OT since age 3.5.  She's almost 7 and still can't print well.  The OT started teaching her cursive and it is much better.  She has spatial issues so she has a hard time putting the letters on the paper.[/quote]
