I have a new three year old student. At this point, I am not sure if this child has a learning disability, cognitive disorder or what. He has a very immature gait. Looks as if he has a mild case of C.P.(but according to testing- they can’t find anything). When he runs, he falls about every 20 feet (luckily they are close to the ground at 3). I am doing some balance and vistibular activities, but I am looking at any other activities that might help. Any ideas?
Re: P.T. advice needed
This child NEEDS a neurological eval to rule out developmental coordination disorder. Your description of him strongly suggests the presence of this disorder. He should also have an OT evaluation.
He could have some visual things going on. I have problems with depth perception and I have the stitches in my chin to prove it :=D
