That said, I find that even after telling people about it, they still don't understand that this is a forever thing, not a 'wear the AFO for a few months to gain strength' or something along that lines.<br /><br />Still undecided as to what to do...<br /><br />Good luck in STL Jamie, can't wait to hear how Levi is doing!Jo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890092522436064041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140014302576063245.post-33108865206200091112009-12-03T07:52:35.327-07:002009-12-03T07:52:35.327-07:00Tough one.

I can&...I was wondering the same thing as Jamie ... I can't imagine the teacher didn't pass that info along to the gym teacher. (sorry -- do you guys call it 'gym' too, or just phys ed?). Anyway, we were in a similar boat with Grace -- not that preschool gym class is anything to get concerned about, but she did get "graded" (remember?). If it was a true "grading" system, she would have failed everything. For the sake of putting something on paper, they did say she "needed improvement" in every single area (except jumping -- she's a pro at that). But they did acknowledge the caveat, that her clubfoot prevented these activities. I did feel that I should tell them up front about it -- again, not for grading whatsoever, but just for letting them know why she can't hop on her right foot, etc. In this particular case, it was the right thing to do.<br /><br />But seriously ... a B is awesome!!! Take heart in that -- Matthew is on his way! :)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907744199449543340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140014302576063245.post-65257379883940734912009-12-02T21:18:07.796-07:002009-12-02T21:18:07.796-07:00Being a therapist and a mom of a child with a spec...Being a therapist and a mom of a child with a special CF, I often don't tell people I'm an OT until after they get to know my son and me because I want them to treat me like a mom and not a professional. But, this case is a little different. You also may not ever develop a relationship with the phys ed teacher. Surely the phys ed teacher has noticed the AFO, right? Did his regular teacher tell the phys ed teacher, do you know? Tough choise. The great news is that even without him knowning or even if he does know....it's a B...that's wonderful. Headed to STL this weekend, will give you report when I get back. :) JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
