re: Sensory Processing Disorder

Quoting Jamils_ mommy:" <blockquote><b>Quoting myr-a-myr:</b>" I agree with this plan for school because he ... [snip!] ... aggressive episodes during kindergarden, and has worked through them very well and did very well mainstream first grade..."

I know right? Sure call the cops. They will show up, understand she is autistic, probably ask the crowd to back off since it's the best thing to do, then let us leave as long as the mother of the girl does not press charges. Which I doubt would hold in court.

As for Jamils friend, that is awesome! Gives me hope!

She can't press charges against a child It would fall on the facility if anything, because they own it, and they told you to back off, plus I imagine parents sign a waiver no?

 

Mama I am so sorry the world is so full of ignorant pricks. How dare they tell you no. i'm sorry for the little girl. Sweet that she took to Emily so well. I'd feel horrible if faith did that, I'd apologize a ton and us also expect the same respect for my child. Grownups are retarded. Don't blame you for never taking her back. I hope kindergarten proves to be a benefit for her.

Faiths appt went alright. We'll be doing genetic testing and she's now on ritalin. 45 min into the first dose and I noticed a huge difference. Hoping this tool well help her to focus and take in more of her therapy.

My insurance denied Rissa's OT.

Well that's good! Hoping it stays that way for her Ritalin for sure! Was she diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?

What?! Why??

She wasn't diagnosed. Dr said she's not rushing to diagnose a 4yo but fairly positive she will end up with an ADHD diagnosis in the future. B.c.

Regarding the OT: The diagnosis codes used aren't accepted for my plan.

She has hypotonia, motor coordination and sensory related issues (I don't recall the description for the dx code)

  So... we will continue every other week until school starts and she will have the OT with the IEP.

with the hypotonia, is there muscle dystrophy connected to it? Or is it just low muscle strength?

I'm just asking because if it's the later. That connected with motor skill coordination problems and sensory issues really sounds like my son. That is his Dyspraxia. A neurological disorder affecting organization and coordination of body movements, balance and muscle strength. His is both gross and fine motor skills but it can only affect one of the two as well.

I would def bring that up to her OT. They have specific tests for that. It also affects anything regarding organization. From school work, play, hygiene, eating etc. It's like they don't know what step to take first. So try to do it all at once and that make them very messy and frustrated/overwhelmed with daily simple tasks.

MK had another GI appr. He goes every 3 months for follow up care. He's still not gaining the way he should, so we are set up in 3 weeks to do a breath hydrogen test to see if he has a fructose intolerance (doesn't digest fruit sugar the right way) and if he has an over growth of bacteria in his gut.
Today, I received his paperwork to fill out for special education through the school next fall. And besides for that his OT and I chatted today and filled out all the paperwork to try to get a spio long sleeve shirt and pants covered through a pharmacy. Also, we were discussing MK and his progress/ lack of. And she said he now officially has the diagnosis sensory integration dysfunction and coupled with his anxiety- she's not working on his fine motor delay. She is trying to get his sensory under control and using his gross motor skills better before she treats the fine motor in depth.
To go along with all of that, his dyspraxia for sure affecting his whole body... Fine and gross motor, oral and verbal. All of this I already knew, have known... I think she wanted to make sure we are all on the same wavelength since it's been months since initial eval and he's getting older.
And I have to say I am so thankful for my DH. MK was having a really rough time when we got to the store and the only thing he wanted was a heavy crib blanket I keep in the car. So DH wrapped him up and carried him and the warm blanket all over the store cuddling him like his baby needed with no complaint. And it was super hot today. He is really in tune and making a load of effort for our family.

Anyway thanks for reading if you have input about anything please give me feedback.

Wish I had some input hon but Faith is the oldest. With R being 2 years younger they are on the same level in some ways and shes the one that tries to tolerate his 2 yo boyness.
