About 5y old child
I went to the special educator and OT for my 5y 2m old son's handwriting issues. He cannot write yet.
Along with the diagnosis of low muscle tone in shoulders for which activities and treatment has started, I was also told that he has exceptional articulation and cognition. They said it is generally not found at this age.
I want to know how do these kids turn out to be in later stages, and what can i do to support his abilities and bring out his full potential.
I also have a 3m old to take care. But i dont want that in all the process, his abilities get diminished/lost somewhere...

Hello,
Difficulty with writing could be due to underdeveloped prewriting skills, poor finger grasp, pressure, etc. All of these areas can be worked on by a special educator or occupational therapist.
Its wonderful that you have been able to identify the child's strengths. Please work towards building his strengths along with the treatment to build muscle tone. Cognitive training therapy is a great way to build his cognition. I have been providing cognitive training over the past 2 years.
I would love to be of help!
