[QUOTE="SRL, post: 16271, member: 701"] I'm glad that you're moving ahead and are pointed in the directions for getting help for difficult child at such a young age. I know you had to push for this and I really commend you--having such early intervention will make a world of difference for him. I know a lot of parents from another forum who have had really good success from using Floortime. I've come to believe that many of the effective behavioral programs for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)'s such as this one are based on what intuitive parents found worked years before there was a name for Autism or such a thing as "therapy". Keep us posted on how it goes for you. I don't mean to discourage you but often the self calming in little ones is tied to both language skills and sensory so the "fix" to this is probably going to come gradually. Did I read in another thread they were starting him on a simple card system? How about baby sign? That can be a big help as well. Hopefully you'll find some sensory strategies as well so you have those in your aresenal. Something as simple as bundling up snuggly in a blanket (mummy style) can be very calming but it's a matter of finding the right strategies for the child. My difficult child is very calmed by swinging/spinning motion so we have a therapy swing in the basement. This week he's (difficult child--not husband) out of sorts and unbeknownst to me the hook was finally stripped out of the ceiling and my husband is out of town and I can't fix it. We're really missing it! [/QUOTE]
