[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81394, member: 1233"] My kids all have some degree of sensory issues. IF I had known about it with difficult child we would have all been better off. Occupational Therapist (OT) for sensory issues often consists of teaching brushing to parents, along with gentle joint compression to follow it. DON'T do this unless you have been taught how. The brushing actually helps the body/brain begin to learn to handle sensory input more appropriately. It made huge changes for my thank you. Jess loves it too. The Occupational Therapist (OT) we saw was too far away to effectively help us, so we spent over a year getting the school to provide Occupational Therapist (OT) services.s So far he has drawn 2 pictures for the Occupational Therapist (OT). I am SOOOOO not impressed, but will have to deal with this later. I can brush him at home, school is very unwilling. I grew up with my own sensory wierdness. I am a food-texture person. I do not eat mushrooms, not because the taste (not a fav, but OK if it is there) but because the texture - styrofoam when raw, slimy when cooked. ICK. difficult child would vomit over most tomato including foods. Same for many others. thank you had food allergies/sensitivities, so his diet was strange from the get-go. Jess was my eat most anything girl, but I see sensory issues with taste popping up in her over the last 4 years. Touching certain things jsut wasn't done by either of my boys. No mud playing. AT ALL. I can still remember the day my aunt told me there was something terriblyWRONG with difficult child. She had been watching him. Her son is just 6 mos older than mine. She made a mixture of cornstarch and water (makes a goo with interesting properties). Her kids were playing with it, getting their hands all covered in it. My son touched it with a finger and then went and got a spoon to mess with it. He just could NOT handle the touch. But he knew that she really wanted him to play with it. I thought he did a great job of coping, but she thought he was surely missing some vital part of something. It was rather funny to me, then and now. thank you cannot handle really loud noises. One church we went to had an odd sound system, volume would suddenly go upfor a few seconds then go down, with no relationship to what was going on. Drove poor thank you to tears. The church we now attend understands and tolerates that thank you may go into one of the rooms in the fellowship hall during the service. The organis on the balcony and used to REALLY be hard for him to tolerate. By thank you (3rd kid) I was so used to kids that were not the norm that I really didn't think much about the ways that he needed accomodation. They ust seemed natural. Didn't all kids have horrible reactions to loud places? Hate certain smells/tastes/textures in foods to the point of vomiting? Like some movements but not others? Anyway, The Out fo Sync Child by Kranowitz is great, and The Out of Synch Child Has Fun is even better. The out of sync child is also avail on video, which makes it easier to explain to some teachers. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
