Hi,
I have a 5 year old son who has recently been diagnosed with spd. He also has dwarfism so its a double whammy for us :-)
I am kind of getting frustrated about how his OT is dealing with him. Because of his additional physical problems things are quite difficult. His main problems now seem to be food phobias (he lives on baby milk, bread, yogurts, cheese and crisps). He refuses to even try any other type of food and will sometimes hardly eat anything for days which is VERY worrying.
His other big problem is dealing with situations ; it was his birthday yesterday, he didn't want a party, didn't want cards (although liked pressies once he realised there were nice things hiding underneath the wrapping paper!), didn't want a cake - nobody was allowed to even say happy birthday, let alone sing it. He is like this with a lot of things, can be very rude to people (especially if he feels threatened). Just finding it very hard to deal with my complex little man at the moment and not getting much help from my OT. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks :-)
