Re: Sensory/OT question

[Guest guest]

Kay,

My son did this a lot. I can remember him standing on his head in the crib

around 18 months and on well past age 3. Occasionally at age 5 1/2 we still

see this, but it is rare. Our OT showed us how to do joint compressions even

on his head. Jumping on the trampoline gives the same kind of proprioceptive

(sp?) input that they seek when they do this. It seemed to help to let him

jump.

Connor did this endlessly. It generally meant his HHV6 was up. He still does on

occasion when he is off his diet like last night. In laws!!! Argh!

Subject: Sensory/OT question

We have noticed a sensory seeking behavior where our son likes to be

upside-down. He likes it when I lift him with my leg where he is upside down for

a few seconds (without or without pressure on the tummy) & also likes to climb

on things like crib & invert himself. This happens a few times in the day. Has

anyone seen anything like this?

It looks like a sensory seeking behavior and am trying to see if there are other

OT type things that can help.

Thanks,

Kay
