Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've heard from a few different sources that it does work. My son gets to chew it in the learning center at school and all the kids get to during testing. My only concern is that my son grinds his teeth at night and the dentist I saw for my own teeth grinding said for me to not chew gum as heaving hard chewing on anything and make it worse. and/or Robin Lemke <jrisjs@...> wrote: Does chewing gum work?

How do i get him into OT for hissensory issues? Thanks! > >> > Hi everyone. My 8 year old DS has Asperger's and i have seen many> > posts about some of the Aspie children also having sensory issues.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Have you looked into one of those chewy tube toys? We got one from abilitations.com, but Therapro has them, too. There's several different kinds, but ours had a clip on the end so we could lose it less easily. (But I think it's lost now, LOL...he figured out how to unclip and would take it everywhere.) Now we have a different kind of one, it looks like a T but it's green with bumps on it, from Therapro. He likes this one better anyway, it gets less 'drooly' and the bumps give him different oral input. Essenfeld wrote: I've heard from a few different sources that it does work.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 hyper yes, obsessed possibly with certain sensory seeking items. Sensitive to touch, light, noise, sounds, dont like certain kinds of clothes. Like motion or no motion. Mine liked to jump insesantly, and flick the lights off and on hunderds of times,he also sat in front of the heat run to feel it all the time, would even trip the thermostat when we weren't looking to turn it on. He also hates clothes and doesn't like to wear them. Screamed like death if you try to wash his hair. Hates water on the face or hair brushing. Sensitive to smells or food textures or tastes. Some like really strong stuff, some like only bland stuff. My son would not eat baby food but loves spicey garlic bread! Usually won't go barefoot in grass or sand. Likes LOUD music at times, other times hates loud. Hates wind in his face, and will scream at you if you open the car windows to far down. Cried in the car as a baby, hated the car seat. Hated coats, hats, gloves..etc. Afraid of things like fireworks or thunder, to the point where they panic or hide. Cover their ears in public or in loud places. They also tend to like to hide in closets or places that are dark and quiet when they get overwelmed. They seem to do poorly in busy places like stores, they can get over done easy and run about haphazardly, not listening, not focusing. They are often deemed " prickly pears " becaus they are over sensitive to everything and not very cuddly. My son only liked to be squeezed, not touched lightly or kissed. He prefers a chenille or his fur blanket. He didn't start wearing clothes regularly until he was on biomed. He flips out if his socks are twisted or bunched up. Try this site: http://www.sensorychild.com/ For us biomed and chelation has drastically reduced his sensory integration disorder to where it is barely noticeable. > > Could anyone tell me what to look for if your child has a sensory issue? > Are they overly hyper, obsessed with certain items etc.?Thank you for > any info to help us with this.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 When I read this I just had to respond. My son loves when his Dad claps for him. As soon as I do it he makes a horrible face screams and charges at me. Otherwise he is never aggresive or a screamer. Cant quite figure this one out. Sensory Issues My daughter screams when she hears counting on TV. We can count her toes, but if she hears any other counting she screams like she is in pain. Does anyone else's child do anything like this? Is this yeast or virus or anything like that? ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Maybe they are not allowed to count without using her toes? Anyone else doing something (even a favorite thing) is just plain wrong because that is not how it was done the first time. My son was ticked that WalMart spelled their belts wrong--I finally figured it out when he kept pointing to the letters and crying, then finally he hit " W-A-L " over and over and over--they spelled Uncle WALter's name wrong LOL!! As soon as I said that, he let out an exasperated laugh and could be redirected. No wonder it took me so long to figgure out what my then non verbal 27 month old was upset about!!! *Sigh* and people laugh at me when I joke that my son has Odd-ism. If that isn't odd, I do not know what is! On Jan 8, 2008 9:03 PM, Largey <l.largey@...> wrote: > When I read this I just had to respond. My son loves when his Dad claps > for him.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Me neither, I cannot figure it out. She is okay if the count on Sesame Street counts too. But Elmo or Dora? No way! I can count sometimes, but I really watch my pitch. She was screaming tonight and I ran to the playroom and it was because the narrator on Miffy was counting. I thought she has seriously hurt herself the scream was so loud. She was crying and crying after. > > When I read this I just had to respond. My son loves when his Dad claps for him.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi there, wondering what others do for their kid's sensory issues? 's slp thinks this sensory issue is a big part of his speech delay---he gets overly excited when he watches his favorite dvds- and lately he has been screaming on and off at the " exciting " parts....he washes hands at school hand over hand, and does it by himself with the private OT. at home will sometimes do it, other times he just says " no no no " . He brings me the shaving cream to make a funny face, but just wants me to touch it--yet he will do it at the OT's. the OT said to do alot of physical stuff, like wheelbarrow walking and deep massage......I read the Out of Sync Child, but I think his sensory issues are mild...any feedback would be appreciated...?

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 We got Ethan a trek tricycle to ride. Being outside really seems to help. We also started doing bouncing with him. I purchased a little tikes bouncer. He loves this. The great part is it is a blowup one so it inflates and deflates in less than 3 minutes. We can use it during the winter months on days that he seems really excited or needs something to put his energy into. We have also done painting, play dough, and mozart music. I have found that walking with him on trails is a good way to help him and it's free. We have encouraged him to pretend play things he likes - especially movies - for instance he loves land before time and we bought some of the character toys - so when he gets excited we play - or he really loves Indiana so we got him the hat and whip. He runs all over the house playing with these now. It is a healthy way to interact together and keep him interested. Hope that helps. Best of luck to you!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh, I forgot to mention we used to take items with us places when he was younger in case he needed something to calm him. We did the squishy hair or a curious george plush toy. He use these to help him cope in situations that he was overstimulated.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Has any one tried the 'brushing' protocol? It was suggested for Cody when they thought he had SID.
