[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 496450, member: 11847"] About Occupational Therapist (OT), ask her if she is trained in sensory integration. All Occupational Therapist (OT) are not qualified in sensory processing disorder (SPD). It requires special extra training hours and they don't all do it. If she is not qualified, ask if she knows of anyone. Even if she does not deal with sensory processing disorder (SPD), it will be good to rule in or out any other Occupational Therapist (OT) issues. And I agree with pp: video tape when he is raging. You cannot go any longer without help. That is simply not fair for anyone. The therapist needs to do his job and actively work with you. Give you some practical help on how to deal with everyday challenges. Is there any predictable triggers? Maybe something you could show therapist during the appointment? Something like "J, I know you want to go to McDonald afterwards, but we just don't have time today" = meltdown= therapist sees your reality ??? I don't know if I am making sense. I'm not talking about a "trap" but something that most kids his age should be able to brush off but that will trigger J. Just a simple example of what you are going through. [/QUOTE]
