It is easy to see the behavior as malicious or trying to get your goat, but that is not her purpose. she is just so uncomfortable, and is trying to find a way to be comfortable. It is frustrating, but read the book, google Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and sensory issues. I am sure that there is lots of info on the net, maybe someone here with more knowledge of Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) can give a good link.
Hang in there. You are on the right track. Get the book, the evaluations, and I second Susie, if you can do a private evaluation do so. I have stayed away from the school district as much as possible when it comes to treatment for my son. My insurance covers it so I am lucky. If you do not have insurance, ask the school via certified letter for an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation. They do have Occupational Therapist (OT)'s, but make sure to use certified letter. Google writes' law and FAPE.
