[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 440113, member: 84"] TeDo Forgive me but I forget difficult child's history. Are you doing the Occupational Therapist (OT)'s evaluations to pin down the Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issue or is it to help him with certain behaviors, or maybe both? Many OTs don't think Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) kids are receptive to the brush thing after a certain age. At 13 difficult child would be past that age. If I remember right it's around 6-7. That came up with me because both Travis and Nichole have Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues, both tried the brush at an older age. Nichole was 10, Travis 13.......and neither could tolerate it even after many attempts. You're lucky with the Occupational Therapist (OT) at school. Travis was assigned an Occupational Therapist (OT) 3 years running via his IEP and never met the woman/man. It was an on going war which I finally gave up on. Our SD went through OTs like water, so I doubt it would have done him much good. Travis also couldn't change tracks like that. Actually, he still can't. Instead, we've gotten used to giving him one direction at a time and sticking to it, if something needs to be added it's not done until the first task is complete. It's frustrating to him because it becomes confusing. He doesn't multi task well. Trying to push him to do it only makes him overwhelmed and can make him angry. (less now that he's older) I guess since you need this to be done, I'd attempt to educate Two. But in all honesty, she should know better......just by his responses if nothing else. Keep working with difficult child on speaking up for himself. If he's willing you can have practice exercises where you can role play and he can practice appropriate ways to respond. But it may take a long time for him to finally get it. Travis is still working on this area, he's gotten much much better, but it still needs work. Hugs [/QUOTE]
