[QUOTE="SRL, post: 118457, member: 701"] Addressing Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) is a learning process that takes time and trial and error. Results will be best if it's a coordinated effort between home, school, and a private therapist. If you haven't read the book "The Out of Sync Child" by Carol Kranowitz you'll want to get a copy. Go slowly with changes (one at a time) and keep a log if you need to because the very same stimuli that helps one child can make another worse. What you'll be shooting for is the right type stimuli at the right time in the right amount. Whenever possible, I looked for alternatives to the Occupational Therapist (OT) supply catalogue stuff because it's so pricey or at least a cheap alternative to trial so I didn't have to fork out for something that didn't work. Sometimes we went with it though--ie my husband made a platform therapy swing but bought the rotator to hook into the ceiling. I did buy a weighted blanket and it worked well, but my kiddo wouldn't have worn a weighted anything because he would have stood out from other kids. I think I've seen a small trampoline that's enclosed at Sam's. We used a plain ol' cheapie and no one got hurt but they liked jumping on beds a lot better. We put an old boxspring and mattress on the floor in difficult child's room and we turned a deaf ear when they were jumping on the beds. IKEA makes a great line of play furniture that you might want to check out. You might want to check out Non-verbal Learning Disorder if you're not aware of it. Kids with NLD often have pronounced spatial problems along with the cluster of problems you're describing. Social problems don't always become apparent in younger years. [/QUOTE]
