Guest guest Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I don't know if it will be enough to correct it...you will have to see. But fish oil, vit E, speech and occupational therapy - whatever you do - I don't think anything will " correct " this. However I do think there are interventions that will minimize the impact the motor planning issues have on our kids. But until we understand the REASOn our kids have the motor planning issues in the first place, its hard to imagine truly reversing it. We did not have big sensory issues until we started omega 3. (cod liver oil, actually). It got so bad that we stopped after a month, and then totally lost all progress in speech and coordination, but the sensory stuff subsided. Switched to omega 3/6/9 - improvements in speech/coordination returned. As I bumped the dose to twice a day...sensory stuff began to crop up again, but not as bad as with DHA. Remeber, there is a little vit E in the omega 3/6/9 (15 iu/pill), but none in the cod liver oil. The surge in speech and coordination was worth dealing with the sensory stuff. We found a great OT, and were introduced to " brushing techniques " . Sounded like a bunch of voo-doo to me, but gave it a try. Still don't quite understand why it helped, but brushing definitely DID help with the sensory issues. But ultimately it did all go away on higher doses of alpha d tocopherol. - > Thanks for taking the time to write about the sensory issues.
