[QUOTE="EB67, post: 46155, member: 3750"] >>The Occupational Therapist (OT) at the school may be able to help with the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID). I would talk to the school about the implications of this, put it in the IEP. But first you have to find out how it specifically impacts his schooling. All I could help you with here is a list of how difficult child 1 & difficult child 3 were affected by this at school. I'd be very interested to see your list. I actually drafted a list of my own. It will be hard for me to convince the district that certain sensory issues are impacting his learning (like his extreme reactions to "bad air"-- an olfactory situation perceived by Seb and Seb alone) See if you can make a list of his sensory issues, overall. Have you had a chance to talk to your younger son's speech therapist about Seb's swallowing issues? If it's Sensory Integration Disorder (SID), this could put it equally with the Occupational Therapist (OT). >>A thought - how is he with dry food?
