[QUOTE="totoro, post: 81120, member: 3155"] Both of my girls are diagnosis'd with Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) or sensory processing disorder (SPD) here are a couple of links to some great sites... [url]http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/index.html[/url] [url]http://www.out-of-sync-child.com/[/url] For us Occupational Therapist (OT) has helped alot. Slowly getting the girls used to the things they fear, have a hard time with... for example the noises... coffee grinder would send them into a frenzy... I let them try it slowly... over months. it is not so bad. They have control over it. I let them know they have an escape from noises or sites... come in the house, ask for help etc. To help them feel like they have control. We have swings in the house, which help them calm their "engines", therapy balls to lay on, bounce on, so many things to do for their up's and down's, We do lots of "hard work", sweeping, carrying, heavy work.... Headphones for noise, a weighted blanket for help with sleep, sound machine to help calm, lavender at night for calming smells... low lights. We have hand works, things for them to hold to help distract them, squishy balls etc. There are so many things to help with sensory issues that also help with other issues as well!!! My girls have taste. smell, sight, sound, touch issues!!! Everything you can think of!!! [/QUOTE]
