Hi everyone,
I'm Lianne and my 6 year old son has SPD. He was "sort of" diagnosed with it last October, but when the school followed up they said it wasn't bad enough to affect his schooling so they wouldn't give him therapy, and to be honest, it didn't seem that serious. recently since summer started it has gotten worse. I assume the structure he got from school suddenly disappearing was part of the problem.
We just started with occupational therapy last week and our therapist is very optimistic and very nice, but I don't really understand much of what is going on. I understand the basics but when she talks to me I feel like she thinks I know more than I do.
This is probably too long of an intro as it is, I'm just glad to find some support cause I need it.
