New to the forum and new to a diagnosis of spd
My little girl whos 8 next month has had lots of difficulties mainly around clothing, were so limited on what she accepts to wear and its very very draining, everything has to be right, touch her right and shes such a handful.
Saw our OT for the first time last Friday and wow I was amazed what she picked up in just one hour with her, I was half expecting her to say she cant see anything wrong and send us on our way.
She noticed my daughters low self esteem within minutes of being there as she told her she was rubbish at two things within 10 minutes, she had her do cutting with scissors, playdough, using the peg board, dressing, drawing, she moved to the mats to have her jumping, skipping, doing allsorts of things with her mouth, it was very thorough, she was scribbling down all through, later that evening she phoned me to tell me that from the parent scoring questionnaire she had noticed everything I put in that she could see in the room, she commented on how easily she was tipped over the edge when they started doing a little vestibular work all of a sudden she was crashing around the room, wanting everything out, jumping, hitting the mats. She said she has vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile difficulties, they want to start the brushing and joint compression treatment but told me its time consuming and a lot of commitment and doesn't always work but weve been booked in for 5 session to start with. Just wondering how its worked for others?
