[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 465005, member: 11847"] Thanks for all the encouragement. We are back and although V liked the activities (he crashed on big balls, trampolines, etc the WHOLE time), it was hard for him emotionally. So much stimulation, and when the Occupational Therapist (OT) would "push" him a little, outside of his comfort zone or level of control: he would get scarred and refuse the activity. By the end of the 2 hours, he was in a full tantrum :( It is the first evaluation that reveals the true V. At least the one part of his character that is sooo hard to deal with. The Occupational Therapist (OT) saw 3 main issues: proprioceptive issues, motor-planning issues and auditory issues (although the last one will have to wait until he is 6 and can be seen by an audiologist specialized in Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)). Now, I really have to look at local resources... I'm afraid there are few. The Occupational Therapist (OT) did say that he needs way more than what the school would offer. I kind of figured... I told her I planned on putting a sensory room together for him in our basement. She will write a personalized plan to help us. I'll have to see what we can do without breaking the bank (too much). Seriously, the facility and Occupational Therapist (OT) were so amazing... almost makes me want to move! lol She said that when we start regular therapy we should see improvement in his behavior i a bout 4 months time (just a guess of course). The real issues (proprioceptive and motor-planning) will take a lot longer though. Is he going to require Occupational Therapist (OT) for years to come?? sigh... You know that mixed feeling: glad to have an answer, sad to confirm such a complicated problem. Buddy, I did think about a weighted vest. Just not sure when and how much we should you it. I've read conflicted opinion on that: not too much or as much as the kid wants it??? Maybe I should wait for the Occupational Therapist (OT) that will work with us? Malika, a weighted blanket is filled withtiny marbles that add weight. V uses one that weights 6Lbs. They work good for sensory issues. [/QUOTE]
