[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 114069, member: 1233"] thank you was most helped by the Occupational Therapist (OT) interventions - brushing, understanding what he needs and letting HIM guide us. By this I mean if he is jumping around we provide a place to do this, and try to make a game of it. The Out of Sync Child Has Fun has been the book that helped us most with him. We watch diet for the kids. If I hadn't paid close attention I would not have caught on to some of his food allergies because they caused his BEHAVIOR to change, not just a rash or breathing problems. He got wild, or itchy, or acted like he just couldn't stop wiggling and jumping. Cutting the preservatives and food coloring out helped this tremendously. He also has other food allergies, and they are tough to find, often allergy testing does not find them. We had NO help from allergy testing. The shots did not help and we ended up discontinuing them. medications for GERD made a much bigger difference than allergy shots. He takes Zantac (generic form - OTC acid reducer) daily and it helps a LOT with his coughing. He coughs all winter, often so much it causes problems at school. ONLY Zantac and Benadryl help. Hope this helps someone. Susie ps. Watch social skills classes carefully. We had one class that was great, difficult child learned a lotof important social behaviors and WHY they were important. The other class we had was terrible. The kids came out like a herd of wild buffalos. Yelling and screaming through the doctors office, carrying those clacker toys or other toys that made icky noises and actually learned how NOT to behave! [/QUOTE]
