Sounds like my 4 year old. When she was 2 weeks old, she suffered a traumatic brain injury. She also within the first 6 month of her life was hospitalized for pneumonia, and a UTI. She also like your son has orthotics too. She started receiving therapy and got her diagnosis at 18 months. She is very hyposensitive but has a touch of hypersensitivity. In my daughter's case, her older sister who is 6 1/2 has ADHD and we believe a touch of SPD and she has a younger sister who is 2 and has a severe case of SPD.

Hi and welcome!
