1 President, The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc, 1383 Piccard Dr, Rockville, MD 20850
To the Editor.
The American Occupational Therapy Association would like to provide the profession's perspective to your recently published statement entitled "School-Aged Children With Motor Disabilities" which appeared in Pediatrics (1985;76:648-649). We commend the Committee on Children With Disabilities on their efforts to establish guidelines regarding the treatment of children with dyspraxia and other motor disabilities, and we strongly encourage pediatricians to become knowledgeable of education-related services available to these children. However, it is important that their statement reflect current practice and research relevant to the services discussed.
