Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I totally agree with the OT that this is a good sign, but if it concerns you certainly you can always decrease back to a scoop and a 1/2 tbs of nutriieda from the full extra scoop. Sensory issues for the most part we aren't seeing changes in this area right away as we as in the areas I have listed here such as speech, imaginative play, motor planning etc. http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html Like growth sensory kicks in after at least a few weeks to a month or so, so...you may have noticed this anyway even if you didn't just happen to increase. What I noticed in Tanner was if you recall the first time he felt a sore throat and the swimmer's ear both which cost me a trip to the pediatrician as I had thought there in both cases it was very severe as Tanner NEVER felt earaches or sore throats prior! The drops for swimmer's ear cost me $107 dollars because my insurance didn't cover it! I know when I was little my mom always used the over the counter stuff for all of us and it worked fine -but I didn't realize this microscopic drop of a bottle was crazy expensive till I pulled up to the drive up window of CVS and I had Tanner sitting next to me moaning about his ear! Glenn's like " why didn't you tell them to forget it and just buy the over the counter stuff? " I don't know- point is it was a turning point for us too. Tanner's ability to feel pain is actually a very very good thing. You will I'm sure like me continue to see gains across the board. I recall you having some sort of scientific or medical background? Try to document all you see because again it's not in just one area and it is pretty shocking the amount of areas this is creating surges in. For apraxia any attempts are good attempts and the fact he is using different syllables instead of the same sound over and over with different inflection for the " word " (ie: tee tee tee tee me? hands to side of head palms toward ceiling, head cocked to one side - was Tanner's way of asking " can I have a teeny bit?) So the fact he's gone for never talking before to 2 syllable words in such a short time -a bit over a month?!..that's crazy amazing!! Crazy incredible!! To the point the average person would think your child was probably misdiagnosed as PDD apraxic (was that the diagnosis again?) By the way my son Dakota had crushed facial nerves as a newborn from a traumatic birth injury as I have in the archives (and The Late Talker book) so I have a bit of advice in the way of therapies we had to do for that too. One was I had to rub my finger down his lip. But Dakota was just a few weeks and then months old and of course you may get different " homework " from the OT for your child. Just wanted to let you know that you'd never know it today for Dakota! Be consistent with whatever therapy for that - the body has remarkable healing abilities within itself -especially little ones like your son that are only 2! Hope that helps! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
