Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 Hi, Well the sense of smell only makes sense......did I really say that? My son is non verbal, but if he smells something, like candy on your breath, he wants to look in your mouth.heheh I have had very bad reactions to smells, like a room full of new petrolum products, can make me very ill. I will get dizzy, nauseous, and if I dont leave right away, I will lose it right there. This can be a problem in sporting goods store, and sometime carpet stores.

My guy really has defensiveness, hypersensitivity, intolerances to smells. Anyone else have a kid with these issues? For example, Rex knows who is at the front door before I even go to answer it, by their smell. There is no hiding anything from this kid. As if he has the nose of a well trained beagle dog. Would SI address this?? thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2001 Report Share Posted March 26, 2001 had 1 year of sensory integration therapy and no they did not really address smell. But the funny thing is her smell got less sensitive as they addressed the other issues. She used to could smell what flavor lotion someone had put on that morning, at 5 in the afternoon! Even with the full year of SI we still had many sensory issues left until we removed all dairy, gluten, and for us corn. At one point she did not feel pain at all but her clothes drove her nuts! Her first diagnosis was sensory integrative dysfunction, and there is a foundation in California (you can find it on the web) that will send you an information packet on it. As a matter of fact the discussion earlier on Pat O. took me back to her original diagnosis because that was what she specialized in at that time ( this was 5 years ago). > > > > " Road4Rex " road4rex@...> wrote: > I do not know alot about Sensory Integration > It has to do with the senses of touch, taste, vision, sound; But what about > the sense of smell. > My guy really has defensiveness, hypersensitivity, intolerances to smells. > Anyone else have a kid with these issues? > > For example, Rex knows who is at the front door before I even go to answer > it, by their smell. > There is no hiding anything from this kid.
