Categorize everything you observe: behavior, fears, listening, processing, each of the senses, balance, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, posture, speech, eye movements, hand-eye coordination, academics (note specific struggles), body space, and body awareness. Ask yourself why your child might be demonstrating atypical behaviors. 1. Does noise, light, or movement trigger reactions of any kind? 2. Does your child struggle with the loss of control of physical movement or balance? 3. Are you able to determine what might trigger atypical fears? 4. If your child struggles academically, do you sense that it is not just a lack of understanding of a specific subject, but your gut instinct says it may be a deeper problem?
