h aro yes they let g use the computer at school which they say he is very good with can write and spell his name fine on that but he has been using a computer now since he was 2/12yrs old it seems to be his forty thanxs for all your advise theresa x

hi nic thanks for the reply g can not cut food or use a knife i have to cut food up for him, hypermobility is something i never heard of b4 i came on this site but i feel alot better armed now for my next visit to the dr (monday) still just trying to get him to a pead for assessment i think i may have a fight on my hands with the dr not looking forward to it at all thanks again theresa x

hi julie we have not got an ot for g at the moment we are waiting for assessment but hopfully that wont be to long now, its very interesting what you said about visual perceptual test hopfully we will be able to have a look into that as well thanks for your reply theresa x

hi sarah thanks for the help i have been holding his book at an angle today he did seem a bit more comfy with that he has the pencils you mentioned, i dont wont to push to hard with him but the children have to sign in at school now and i dont wont other children picking up on g not being able to do this. children can be unkind sometimes. theresa x

hi thanks for your help and advise on this, g cannot use a knife also i have got him the triangle pencils i have just be doing writing with him again he can not go the right way when trying to write he gos in reverse and also gets frustrated and stroops off for a sulk and tells me i am not his teacher (cheeky litttle things at this age) i will try the rubber pens next see if that helps i am keeping it casual with him so not to stress him out. thanks again theresa x

helix

thanks A great advise about the sand and soap foam it will make it fun for him as well, we are currently awaiting assessment for g so we do not have an ot at present, his school try to have one on one with him for writing but to no avail at moment like you said not even doing circles shapes nothing his grip is realy weak,plus he seems to have no interest in it what so ever, i lose all eye contact with him as soon as he starts trying this, so i have no distraction in the house for that 10mins, but he just cannot get it, thanks again theresa x

tape measure

hi i am trying to teach g how to write at the moment he has a real problem forming any words at all, i have got all types of pens ect, it seems to stress him out, so we only do 5/10 mins at a time, its not good because we cannot tell if he is right/left handed, he seems to be going towards his left more than anything but even his teachers dont know what hand he is, do you think this is common, he is good in maths and he can spell and do name on computers but when it comes to pen and paper i carnt even get him to hold a pen properly . i was just wondering if any tips on here to try and encourage this. many thanks theresa x ps he will be six in sept am i pushing him do you think.
