Don't really want to ask in RL as with two dyslexic kids I feel maybe I should know this already
Have recently moved to Oz where everyone seems to be suggesting OT for my boys, but I don't know what they actually do. One SENCO said it would help DS1 with his issues about copying things down from the board. It was also mentioned in a p/t meeting I had for DS2 but his teacher dismissed the SENCO's suggestion saying that it would be "just another extra thing".
I know that an OT attends their school, though I'm not sure if it's something the school can provide at their discretion (like the literacy support programme that DS2 is on), or if it is "user pays". Everyone seems to assume that I understand the benefits but I don't. Help please!
