Somehow my last message got lost. Probably cuz I pressed a wrong button. Oops

According to the OT, he has a problem with prioceptor function. He's not getting feedback to his brain to tell him where/what his body is doing. She said that's the reason he's always purposely falling and running into things when he plays. He's trying to get feedback about what his body is doing. He had an evaluation which is why he will be getting services. He also has low core strength so the PT is to help him with coordination and build his core strength. He loves the PT and I'm hoping he likes the OT just as much.

Lynn your boys sound very similar to Samuel. He's always been clumsy and trips over his own feet. He sometimes even falls just standing or sitting still! We always just put it down to him growing so fast and being so tall - and all arms and legs! He's also always been delayed in fine motor skills. But, I thought that he was getting better with help. It's only when I realized he'll be 7 and still can't do things like cut his food and he has trouble with writing. That's what made me ask for an eval. I included the concern about gross motor skills only cuz I sensed they were probably related... and sure enough, I was right.
