[QUOTE="SRL, post: 7908, member: 701"] Good work, Andrea! And that's great news that you have specialists right there in your area that understand your child's needs. I wish we could all be so lucky. My difficult child has a first cousin with Tourette's Syndrome that was diagnosed at around age 7. They'd seen explosive behavior but just thought it was temperament. They didn't make any connect with the facial motions and tics (thought the nose movements were allergies) until he had a big flareup requiring a neurological workup. After learning more and looking back in hindsight they realized the tics had always been there. I agree that you're way ahead of the game due to your willingness to apply TEC methods. In addition to doing your homework on Tourette's Syndrome you might do some looking into the area of Sensory Integration Dysfunction. I've often thought that even though my nephew doesn't have Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), that many of the techniques (ie calming activities) would be beneficial to him. Has he had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation yet? [/QUOTE]
