Reply #6: If he is social, congenial and on the bright side, he might do fine.

My friend's son started K not really writing or coloring, but when the expectation was there for him to do those things, he picked them right up.

My son has fine motor delays. His are serious enough that he sees an occupational therapist once a week. I am uncertain about K next year, too. He is way ahead in many areas, but can't write and hates coloring and cutting. So his K day will consist of reviewing things he already knows and then a bunch of stuff he can't do/hates. And he is not a child who goes along to get along, either. If he is unhappy or frustrated, he makes sure everyone suffers.

I am considering keeping him home with me next year. We would have lots of time to work on his OT issues through therapy and other activities the therapist has suggested. Then, provided he is caught up, he can start 1st with his age mates.
