Hi, I am the mom to a wonderful, incredibly smart six year old boy who has had a variety of issues since he was 9 months old when he first got teeth. He was kicked out of his 1st daycare at 14 months after have 34 biting incidents. Since then he spent over a year at home with Dad and when it was time for preschool he was in 3 differrent settings. In first grade he was put on an IEP and was moved to another school that was better equiped to handle his outburts and agresssion. We had him assessed and tested so many times and have received all types of diagnoses.

At home he is a great kid who gets along with his 4 year old brother. He never has been overally social but in the last 6-8 months is much more comfortable in small groups and interacting one on one with other kids. Today after his first suspension from first grade for agression we were able to get a sensory profile completed for school which showed a definitive difference from his peers in all forms of sensory categories.

We have him set to meet with a qualified pediatric OT early next week. We are hoping this will help. The school OT also recommended we consider the Wilbarger Brush protocol.

My husband and I have been through so much in the past several years. I guess we are looking for hope that some of the suggestions we are receiving actually work. We have had our hopes up so many times and had them quickly dashed with another outburst or incident.

Anyone that can relate and provide us hope would be appreciated. We love our son so much and just want him to be happy.
