I see this family recommended on YT to me often because I have celiac disease and am into gardening and homsteading but couldn't really find much information on them. Is this just another wealthy religious family cosplaying as farmers? They have like 8 homeschooled kids with a gigantic house and farm animals. I saw one video where the mom said her child couldn't read a fictional chapter book involving magic (implying that it was against their religion) but then she has a gigantic chest tattoo.

My 28 month old son has always been a very busy guy. He has been in the same daycare since infancy and his teacher/ the director recently called a meeting to discuss certain behaviors. They said he is very physical with other kids and will often hit and push without provocation, has difficulty with transitions, gets upset easily, and will often try to climb things or just yell loudly for fun. He is pretty verbal and speaks in 3-5 word sentences, so no concerns there. They said he doesn't hit older kids or staff, and doesn't often hit at home so it's hard for me to try and correct the behavior when I don't see it.

They recommended reaching out to EI, which I did. I asked EI if they could observe him in the classroom and they said no, the initial evaluation had to be at home or in their office and if he qualified for services, then those providers could come into his classroom. A team of three people came to our home for two two hour sessions. He scored average in all areas, so he didn't qualify. He also scores low risk on the MCHAT. I want to do what I can to best support him and his teachers, but where do I go from here? Reach out to his doctor and try to get some sort of private OT eval?
