[QUOTE="buddy, post: 537520, member: 12886"] HUGS....don't read too much into it though. I had a co-worker Occupational Therapist (OT) talk to me about this little preschooler (blind/deaf and hard to tell if he had issues due to the sensory deprivation but he seemed on the spectrum more than our other deaf/blind kids) she said he was so "low" functioning etc...but I saw something and so did his teacher...I started him with pecs and photos for schedules. He would throw himself on the floor (all110 lbs. of this huge 4 yr old!) and fall apart when his class would go somewhere. I started putting a picture of stand up (sign language was not coming along for him, he had some vision) then for example...drinking fountain and he would take it....look, stand up, turn and go there....He needed language! Poor thing but he did have issues, just can't go by one person's view of things....we need everyone's perspective! You know him best, you're an Occupational Therapist (OT), you KNOW that whatever "it" is...you can get him to his potential! Just keep plodding through. SO amazing you have two non-bio related kids with sensory integration stuff....really interesting. [/QUOTE]
