Re: Sensory integration/speech therapist

[Guest guest]

I do not have an answer to your question for a speech therapist in the Tampa

area, but we have a really good one where we live and it has helped with my boys

speech.

 

I also wanted to let you know that I, too, have 4 year old twins with autism and

sensory issues.  If you ever want to e-mail me and just share with some one else

who is going through the same thing, my e-mail address is

My autistic 4 year old twins have serious sensory integration issues.

They not only had no speech but also eat very few food items,

especially my son. He only eats bread with butter or peanut butter

regularly in addition to candies, candies and cookies.

Our DAN doctor mentions that some speech therapists who are also

feeding specialists may be able to help.

Do any one know how to locate such a specialist in the Tampa area?

Thanks.

If you email the prompt institute   http://www.promptinstitute.org with zip

codes, they can give you names of PROMPT certified slps in your area.  Ernie is

the contact.

 

Good luck

My 2.9 yo son has sensory issues also. The hardest one to deal with is with

food. There are

Occupational Therapists that are specially trained in food therapy. If you have

a children's

hospital near you that would be a good place to start. You could even call your

local early

intervention and ask them for a list of OT's that they use.

My son's OT does food therapy with him, but it has been a very long and slow

road!

Good Luck!
