Usually in OT, we can’t get him to hold anything. It’s like we lit a puzzle on fire and expected him to solve it. Even with that, our OT can get him to do all sorts of interesting stuff.

There’s probably some profound sensorial analysis to be done here, but I’m a little too brain dead at the moment to parse it out. We were up way late last night dumping stuff into his IEP notebook in prep for our first, rather informal meeting with the case manager today. It went well. It was the first time we’d met our case manager and she seemed very nice, professional, and helpful – all things we like.

It looks like they’re going to take some of his fairly recent evals and count them without having to repeat them. Woot! That’ll save a few hours in a small, barely-air-conditioned room. The jury is still out on whether he’ll need another OT eval, which are the dreaded ones. I guess I could confound the test by handing him two letter blocks before the eval.
