As the new school year begins, itโ€™s common to wonder: Is my child just adjusting, or do they need extra support?โฃ

Here are some signs your child may benefit from an IEP (Individualized Education Plan):โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Theyโ€™re consistently falling behind in reading, writing, or math.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Trouble focusing, following directions, or staying organized.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Difficulty with fine motor skills (writing, cutting, tying shoes).โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Avoiding school, homework, or specific activities because they feel โ€œtoo hardโ€.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Struggles with transitions, routines, or regulating emotions in class.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Needs much more support than peers to complete the same work.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Ongoing teacher concerns about progress, attention, or behavior.โฃ

๐Ÿ“Œ Frustration, meltdowns, or low confidence connected to schoolwork.โฃ

Parents have the right to request an evaluation at any time. If you raise a concern, schools must consider and respond under IDEA. You donโ€™t have to wait for the school to bring it up; your voice matters!โฃ

Occupational therapy is often part of the IEP process. OTs support children with:โฃ
* Strengthening fine motor + handwriting skills.โฃ
* Building attention and self-regulation strategies.โฃ
* Developing independence in classroom routines.โฃ
* Boosting confidence in learning and play.โฃ
* Identifying the underlying sensory concerns that often contribute to classroom challenges.

Every milestone matters, and every step builds a strong foundation for the next stage.

If your little one is eager to walk but hasnโ€™t spent much time crawling, itโ€™s a great idea to incorporate crawling activities into their playtime.

Crawling isnโ€™t just about getting from Point A to Point B. Itโ€™s a powerhouse milestone that strengthens so many essential skills your child will use for life. See the attached slides!

As pediatric therapists, weโ€™re here to support you in nurturing all stages of your childโ€™s development!

Have questions or concerns about your childโ€™s motor milestones? Letโ€™s chat! Early support makes all the difference. Send us a message or give us a call!
