[quote=Anonymous]Don't get too up in arms about the teacher's suggestion.  If I were you, I would absolutely get an eval from a developmental specialist, or at he very least an OT specializing in sensory issues.  Once you hear what they have to say, you can make decisions and go from there.  I am the parent of a preemie.   Because of his prematurity, we've been lucky to have had access to early evaluations/intervention, and sometimes it's just a little help or tips for the parents/teachers that can tremendously help a child.  There is so much research that early interventions can help a child exponentially more than late intervention.  It absolutely cannot hurt and might (significantly) help to get professional input earlier rather than later.  "Inability to organize" for a preschooler might equal not being able to concentrate at circle time and needing to chew -- can you imagine what it might look like at 1st grade or beyond, and how it might impact a child academically and socially?  I would be grateful for the teacher's heads up.  [/quote]
