[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 384712, member: 1233"] confuzzled, Jen's daughter has shown MANY Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) tendencies for a long time. She and I discussed them when she was here a year or so ago, but she was doing other testing and the $$ simply wasn't available to do the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID).
