My little angel....aged 4 yr old has been diagnosed by Occupational Therapist (OT) with sensory processing disorder (SPD)!
But I was expecting it!
We had our first school parent interview last week and must say it is a bit owerwhelming to sit there and listen while the teacher carries on about 1.5 pages of all the things my little one CAN'Tdo!
He has plenty of tactile defensiveness....causing him not to hold the pencil correctly.....also uses tactile stuff to modulate....so bumping into others, giving them to hard hugs...hurting them.....lashing out when they unexpectedly touch him....
His eyes is to sensitive to light so he makes little eye contact, the class room lights need to be dimmed for him......
In circle time he pulls the shirt over his head arms and legs and sits like a little ball, covered.
Plenty of auditory processing problems....ST assessment shows 18 months behind....so...not following instructions, not listening.
And he is CONSTANTLY on the move...fidgeting...cant cut with scissors...terrible poor postural tone...exct.....exct.
At least she said he is good with construction activities and has a charming personality!!!!
Agh......this isnt nice to hear....I feel so sad for him!
