My son is 13 and very bright. We were told that he had proprioceptive and vestibular issues along with his low muscle tone at age 7. We had been told to homeschool after kindergarten because he was ahead academically so he didn't fit in with age mates both physically and academically. He also had dysgraphia but couldn't get OT in school because he wasn't failing. Our insurance would not pay for sensory integration therapy but we were told to read the Out of Sync Child Has Fun.

He has always had trouble sleeping but we are desperately looking for some way for him to learn to sleep in a painful scoliosis brace. He is supposed to wear it for 16 hours a day. He is able to stay in it for 8 hours at the most and it is very hard to do this. Pain medication doesn't seem to work well on him. He stopped taking melatonin after it stopped working. I don't know where to go from here.
