In several months, when Z turns three, she'll age out of the First Steps program and I'm opting to have her evaluated for continued therapy through the public school system. As I found out at Tuesday's informational meeting, however, it's a very long shot, since Z has to show a two standard deviation delay in *both* gross and fine motor skills in order to qualify. (Her fine motor skills have never been a concern.) I'm curious to know what they have to say – testing is done without parents present – so I'm going to go ahead with it.
