He will not qualify through the schools. I will google it.

I was just reading one of your posts on V.T. How did you know you your dd needed to use PACE after V.T.? My ds is 8.5 and his eyes are functioning at approximately a 4 year old level. I am guessing he will need something like PACE when he is done with V.T. Would this seem appropriate? What would you recommend? TIA, Kirstin

Insurance won't cover ST. Ds 8.5 has expressive and receptive issues and doesn't have the r sound. The school also will not do anything so what do I do? Right now we can not afford to pay for speech as we are paying for VT. TIA, Kirstin

What is OverTeaching? I have never heard of it. Kirstin

I redid the SPD check list. He scored in the often category just about across the board in the following areas: visual,auditory, activity level, organization, sleeping, and social-emotional. In the other areas he didn't really rate a response. Any other books you would recommend while we wait for an eval. I will talk to our ped. tomorrow. TIA, Kirstin

This was a private O.T. I don't know how good she was, I have nothing to compare to. We started O.T. for fine motor. I did keep asking if I should be looking at anything else but she didn't say anything. She did say he had some visual issues, closure and something else. But as it turns out he has lots of visual issues or it looks like a lot to me based on his V.T. eval. Right now, my plan is to have his speech evaluated privately this summer. This would give his eyes a chance to mature and develop. What would a neuropsch. evaulate? I am not sure our insurance would cover this and right now with his V.T. there is no way we can afford to pay out of pocket. I had to fight to get his O.T. fully covered. I hope this makes sense, Kirstin

Just O.T. and one counselor visit. The counselor recommended The Out-of-Sync Child but said we were doing a good job and she didn't need to see us again. He does have some school anxiety too although that is getting better this year. We are planning on hs for next year. Kirstin

Would you have this child evaluated for SPD? :confused: DS is 8.5 almost 9. He just started Vision Therapy, many of his vision skills are around a 4 year old level. He has a academically, especially with writing and reading. He does much better orally. His receptive and expressive skills are somewhat delayed. He is easily distractable. He doesn't like loud noises, he said he likes women's hockey games batter than men's hockey games because they are less distracting, i.e. less people and noise. He has a low self-esteem and is easily frustrated. He started V.T. homework this week and was very frustrated by it, I am going to see if we can start with less homework even if it takes more therapy so he can be successful. He is scared of the basement, we had a flood and a bat in our pellet stove. He is scared of the attic that connects to his room thus he ends up moving into our room in the middle of the night. We are making progress, he did go down stairs for a short period of time with his sister today and starts out the night in his own bed. :) He is tired of evaluations and therapies but I am afraid of missing something or I am missing something. Any suggestions? TIA, Kirstin

Yes, V.T. means vision therapy.

My ds 8.5 will be starting VT next week. He has many significant vision issues. Both the dr. and the reading specialist told us to put the academicson hold for the next 3-4 months until the VT has had a chance to start working. Now for my ?, what should I do to help him maintain? He has just made some big leaps ( not big enough to catch up) in reading and math and I don't want to lose them. Thanks, Kirstin
