me and was thereby discontinued

Sounds like you're in the same place I am with Gabe...not much there you

didn't expect to hear, & glad to be getting services for him.

Wow, both kids in school all day? Whatever are you going to do with

yourself?!

The things they test are fairly innate - if the child has the strength &

coordination to do them, he will be able to. (Whether he WILL or not is a

different story, I know.) I had the same concerns about 's first

evals; I had not " taught " him how to do _____ yet. But the evaluators told

me these are things that should not have to be taught. Thus, if he can't do

them, he needs therapy to teach him how.

Good luck with it all.

Ha, ha, yes, I wondered the same thing when Putter's OT taught him to cut.

YOU'RE TEACHING HIM TO CUT???? WHY???

Well, it is an age appropriate skill and other kindergarteners will be able

to do it.

Pah!

Totally unnecessary skill.

Yes, I have that feeling as well. We do not practice cutting at home. I

will leave that in the hands of trained professionals.
