[QUOTE="Domesticated.feminist, post: 382598"] Yes he has done the weighted vest at his preschool, we recently have one for home and there is one in his IEP but the school doesn't have one and when they tried the weighted blanket they had today he didn't like it. the vest came in the mail today and he cried when we put it on him saying he looks weird. All the sudden he is extremly self consious of being different, yet still shy but social at the same time. He likes to be brushed still though and likes joint compression. Brushing is one thing he always responds too, actually all my kids like to be brushed. It sucks because he was doing so good at his preschool I thought he was typical because they helped so much. Although soccer was a bit trying as were a few other activities we tried. And I read out of sync child has fun, raising a sensory smart kid, Parenting a child with sensory processing disorder and I started a book about kids with adhd. He gets a lot of sensory input at home but he needs it at school too. Today I talked to an aide about him and she seems willing to try anything. So we will see how this goes. His Occupational Therapist (OT) at school will start soon. Certain things I would like to point out.. He likes shock value of things and to get reactions from people. Sometimes when I want him to do things I have gotten into the habbit of telling him to not do it, particulary lately when I am trying to get him sensory input at home. He does for the most part get along very well with his sisters, there are fights but he just tells on them rather than gives into them, sometimes he gets wacky and careless though. He's like a two year old in many ways, i feel so awful saying that, but for example he has to be directed step by step when doing a task although at the same time he is very smart and many tasks when done over and over again he needs less reminders. He is capable of following directions. It seems like this school gets "it" but I could be wrong. I feel ashamed of myself because I get embarrassed of my child at times and then sometimes I get nasty. What is wrong with me! Sorry long winded response. It's been a long few weeks and I just feel like they aren't going to end anytime soon. Maybe tonight my motrin pm will work and atleast I can sleep. by the way love the to kill a mocking bird quotes!
