Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sue I had never heard of a vision therapist! That is news to me! lol I am glad she can help her and help with development too. I don't think my kids could point to body parts at 12 months old. But...it has been a while. Hopefully we will get more input here. How old were your kids when they could point to body parts?(Everyone?) Kristy dewardjohnson@... wrote: Hi all, the vision therapist just left.

They said that a vision therapist does work on developmental so I went with that. They also felt she should know a little more than she does. Like she should be able to point to her eyes, nose, ears, etc. Any thoughts on that? I thought she was doing really well now I am wondering if I was just kidding myself. She only turned 1 a week ago. She listens to them so well with me she just wants to beat me up and pull my hair and have me tickle her. I guess that is normal she knows she can get away with that with me. They are going to have a speech therapist evaluate her again in two months to see if her speaking is on track. Sue Isabella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 The developmental therapist came aftwards because it is going to take a few weeks to change over. Anyway he looked on his chart and said it has 15 month for 1 body part and 18 to 2 1/2 years for body parts so now I am not as concerned.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 That sounds more accurate to me. I would ask this vision therapist where she got her information from. I think it is important to always check what ever therapists tell you when it comes to development because I have heard more than once when a therapist worried a parent by telling them that their child was not on task in development and the child was really right at or even above age level.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Trey who is now 7 (almost 8) didn't point to body parts until he was 18 months or older. Austin still can't (or won't) but can do " Head Shoulders Knees and Toes " really well LOL (but won't point to any " one " body part when asked to) BTW Trey doesn't have MDS just ADHD (that's all, no biggie LOL) As for my oldest Cameron (16, OCD) I'll have to ask his Mom because I really don't know when he started doing that. For those of you confused, I'm Cameron's birth-mom (Who BTW wants to meet me next summer!)

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Sue - I wouldn't worry too much. My " typical " granddaughter just turned one and she cannot point to her eyes, ears, nose etc. She just learned to wave bye bye and she points if she wants something and that is about it. I always felt that therapist would say Adam didn't know how to do something and I would say " Did anyone ever show him how to do that? " Then we would show him and work on it and he would get it eventually. When a baby just turns one, they have a lot of new things coming at them. I personally wouldn't have even thought of teaching a child that age where her nose is. Maybe six months from now. I am sure she is doing really well. As far as her behavior, the first time we observed Adam at school, I though I was looking at someone elses child. There he was sitting nicely, following rules, etc. I think they all know they can get away with more at home. Donna dewardjohnson@... wrote: Hi all, the vision therapist just left.
