Im wondering if I should have my son evaluated by an OT. I never considered it until reading the last few post here. I don't know where to begin to look.

Thanks!

Our vision therapist had a list of OT's she recommended. Anyone who works with kids ought to have a list.

Our speech therapist recommended an OT that we will be seeing this Wed. They are best buddies - the ST & OT.

BTW Jean, our st comes to our home once a week for st. When she found out that I had several other dc and homeschooled, she suggested it.

Jean,

I got the recs for ours through the state's children hospital. They have an evaluation center on the hosp grounds called "center for disabilities and development".

After a whole eval, we got recs that way.

I wish you the very best. We're only a few weeks ahead of you in the discovery process.

Thanks, Pam and Darcy. I am going to see @ some type of eval when we see the neuro on Monday (24th) and I hope we can get referals through them. If not, I see the ST on the 26th and will try that route.
