Re: First PT appt in two weeks

September 17, 2005

Hey Carol. Keep me updated on the processing information. Did he

have alot of ear infections. Its important to make sure that the

pediatrician does a tympanogram at the office every time, you do not

want any fluid in those ears at all. Speech sounds good especially

the imitation. Imitation is your foundation for language as well as

object permanence and receptive language. Keep giving him simple

directons to follow and wait a second or two for him to responds,

such as get _____, give me _____. My nephew had alot of sensory

issues and he is 6 now and they are pretty much gone. We did lots of

massage, brushing and trampoline work. If Dominik is a seeker than I

would do lots of deep massage and joint compressions with him. There

is a great book the out of sync child that explains alot of sensory

issues, have you heard of it. Good luck. If I can be of any help

let me know. Debbie and brielle
