SID and Therapy
H.D. saw Karen his Occupational Therapist for our only summer session. Between vacations, ours and hers, we had about one time that worked for all. Poor guy really needed it. I was noticing more and more how "disorganized" his system was. Two of the many issues that H.D. struggles with are spatial awareness and sound. We were discussing how he does not seem to have any awareness of his own sound level, shouting and screeching around when he is excited or just constantly making noise, but how noises made by other people are really bothersome, disturbing, and sometimes frightening to him. Karen suggested we work more on the sound piece with Harrison. I am looking for special headphones and cds on the internet to support his need. While I was searching I found this really informative article about SID that I thought might be of interest to those of you trying to understand my kiddo, or might help someone who stumbles upon my page.
