<t>Curious! Does anyone know how hot is to hot therapy in a hot tub. We do a lot of therapy in our hot tub and we have been keeping it at about 98. (This is a lot cooler than we used to keep it before kids.) It seems like anything under 98 we get too cold. We do it outside and late in the evening. W...

<t>My Daughter (3 years old) had the caps 11/26. So it has been about 6 1/2 months since. She still has a difficult time bringing her arm down all the way to the side of her body. Her therapist is now having her pack a small stuffed animal around by squeezing it to her side with her arm. I wish we w...

Does the Peabody have a section for self help? She was only tested in fine and gross motor.
Thanks Jodi

<t>Danielle-<br/> My daughter is 3 1/2. She was in a great birth to 3 program until she turned 3. It was ran through the Dept. of Health. Now she is turned over to the School (because she turned 3). We live in Washington State. I know of quite a few others with BPI that qualify for and receive servi...

Rich- Thank you so much. The goals are great. I have started a list of things Bailey can not do. I am going to keep adding to it everytime I see or think of something.

<t>I am trying to come up with a list of IEP goals. As big as I possibly can!!!<br/> <br/> It would be a lot of help if others could post some goals that have been used in their child's IEPs. <br/> <br/> My daughter is 3 1/2 years old but I don't care if the goals are age relevant or not. I plan on ...

<t>Does anyone know of a test that does a good job of testing bilateral function. They used the Peabody on my daughter and we are looking for a different test that may be more accurate?<br/> Also we want her to be tested in the area of self help. Does anyone know of a good test for this?<br/> <br/> ...

<t>Rich I thank you so much for being so helpful. They based their decision soley on the report from there OT. They called it an evaluation report. Funny it contains the peabody results and the OTs opinion. I stated over and over again that the decision can not be made soley on that test and OT's op...

<r>Brenda- I live in Washington. We live in Quilcene it is close to Port Townsend. I think we are maybe 2 hours away from you. <br/> Do contact Peggy Ferguson her email is <EMAIL email="pferg@charter.net">pferg@charter.net</EMAIL>. She know where people in the support group live. We have been talkin...

<t>I feel like screaming! The meeting was awful. Bottom line was that they feel she does not qualify because of her peabody results. They feel that there is not enough educational relevance. We signed that we disagree now I have to get my thoughts in order and figure out what to do next. I do not wa...
