Crossing the midline

[ticklish]

Can she skip? How is she at drawing circles on a page? I know these are signs teachers look for at my son's school.

An Occupational Therapist should be able to help with an assessment and getting to the bottom of any physical issues.

I hope you find some answers soon.

I second the OT for assessment. Braingym are great exercises. You can pretty much do it all yourself without a therapist if you search around for the exercises or get a braingym DVD. We do play with my son like encouraging him to crawl while we're pretending to be animals, or getting him to draw while lying on his tummy or getting him to push trains along a track in front of him across his midline (he'll usually move his body to avoid crossing the midline, or swap hands).

Seeing as how she is at school, Her class teacher can recommend her for assessment - at our school this is done in house by a psychologist/counsellor and then recommendations are made for further assessment and/or treatment. But you can also see an OT. You ideally need to get onto this now, because the process can take a while and coming up to silly season, it will be hard to get anything done until next year and it will also mean that they will have a plan in place ready for school next year if anything does show up.
