Aidan had occupational therapy today.
I asked the OT about dealing with Aidan’s praxis difficulties with handwriting. What happens is that he can trace letters OK, and print with my hand loosely guiding him, but if I leave him on his own or just show him a letter to copy, he can’t even manage an approximation. […]
