Yes, we have, but his fine motor skills have been so abysmal that he has been unable to do anything but the simplest full hand movements until recently.
That has improved significantly in the past couple of months, so we`re also hoping it carries over into his oral motor skills. He has no problem babbling or being vocal, it`s just words themselves that stump him.
Just out of curiousity, what sort of age range are he children you work with? My son is still technically 2 years and 8 months. We`ve started toilet training, but because he doesn`t tell me when he has to go until after he`s already gone, it is a bit of an uphill battle.
