n next year, and if so, how often or how much he will need it. There are several different sections of the test and he was on the second to last one. This section tested balancing. It included standing on one foot with his eyes open then again with his eyes closed, walking in a straight line, and balancing on a small platform. Judy timed him while I recorded the times and points for each activity. The points range from one to four; four being the best and one being the worst depending on the time he lasted. When he finished all of the activities I added up the points and wrote his score on the front of the test where the scores for the other sections are listed and will be added to determine his overall score at the end. After he went back to class, Judy told me how William has improved since last year. Last year he had a lot of trouble with balancing on one foot and he couldn't hold that position for very long at all, but this he could hold it for ten seconds. Next week, when I visit again, he will be finishing the last part of the test. She predicts that this will be the most challenging part for him to do, which has to do with coordination. I am curious to see how he does.
