I can't say I know what ...You are a great mom.<br /><br />I can't say I know what you're going through, but I have discovered a bit about issues that affect learning since my son started occupational therapy almost three years ago. He has a fine motor skill delay and sensory issues. He will likely be diagnosed with ADHD as well when he's older -- he probably has it, but I don't think they test for it until kids are older. His hands hurt when he's writing too. He squirms in his seat or tries to lie down. His handwriting is atrocious.<br /><br />We are just now learning about educational kinesiology -- if you Google it, you might find some resources that could be helpful. I've also stumbled across information about the symmetrical tonic neck reflex, which supposedly can be underdeveloped in people who didn't crawl, or didn't crawl enough, and this makes it difficult to sit still for any length of time. Apparently it can lead to learning problems. Who knew?<br /><br />Just mentioning some ideas, from one mom to another.<br /><br />Mwah!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724228599717695914noreply@blogger.com
