re: Unsure how to help my son

Quoting ~~My Pet Wussy~~:" <blockquote><b>Quoting ❥ Meℓi:</b>" Well I had issues with my motor skills ... [snip!] ... He's going to have OT through his iep. He holds a pencil really weird and also can't do small motor things like buttons"

Yea, OT will help with all of that. Does his IEP seem to be helping him enough?

<blockquote><b>Quoting ~~My Pet Wussy~~:</b>" K, I think I'll make a mother appt with him. My pedi is a douchenugget but will give referrals when I ask directly for them. Thanks"</blockquote>

Also, I'm not sure where to look for it, but ABA therapy might be beneficial and if he's delayed in motor skills or needs an eval, a pediatric rehab center referral.

My son is very delayed. And although my other son has lost the diagnosis of PDD-NOS a high functioning autism, we did a lot with him while he had the diagnosis.

We just got it a week ago, so no clue yet. They are allowing him to type all his written work though which is a huge help.

Applied behavioral analysis. I don't know how it's used with older children, just what my son did as a toddler and my best friends son does, but he is low functioning autism and age 5, so ABA for your DS would be different.
Anyway here is a link if you want to read more about it.

Oh yea, there were some kids in my special ed class when I was in grade school that had that. I was allowed a longer time on tests and I was allowed a simple calculator.
