Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Another thing I forgot to mention before as one of the things I've noticed in him. BEFORE NV, he was kinda stuck in a ritual. Like, every time we'd go to the dairy section of our Wal-Mart here he'd have a FIT for a cheeseburger! I mean, HOLLAR while holding out his arms towards the golden arches as though they were a life-line to his very existence! He could have JUST eaten and simply because once or twice in his memory he remembers that we went there, he expected it every time! Then, we'd get it for him, just to calm him down and often times, wouldn't eat it!!! Also, he'd HAVE to sit at a particular table. That was very important. But today after therapy, he was hungry and I had to do some shopping, so since he did SO GOOD in therapy, I got him his " usual " . Then I saw HIS table.... it was occupied! I wondered how he would handle that. He just looked at it and didn't yell or reach for it... he just went wherever I took him to sit! I was so proud, not to mention, relieved!!! He has also had a fetish for making sure all the doors in our house were closed. He doesn't have to close them anymore! I think he's more mellow now without so many compulsive behavior/quirks. :-) Also, even though he has sensory issues in his mouth and HATES to get his teeth brushed, he has been squirming and fighting me much LESS now and actually will cooperate when I ask him to open his mouth more for me! Could the NV be lessening the negative effect brushing has had on him? I believe so!!! That is usually something we see after a longer peroid of being on the NV! I am SO EXCITED!!! I can now brush the other parts of his teeth!!! Yeah!!! I know I say this a lot, but man, I am so FIRED UP about this product, if ANYONE wants more information or to talk to me about getting your child on it, please feel free! This stuff is AMAZING!!!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Romesa such happy news!!! Your life is officially a wee bit easier!! There is another explanation I've heard from some of the PhDs in speech is that sometimes children who are unable to communicate develop rituals due to frustrations, but as expressive speech comes in, frustrations lesson, the need for the rigid behavior fades away. So not sure if it's NV helping speech or NV helping Issac to " loosen up " because he has an increase in speech and less frustration..or a combination as clearly NV helps in numerous areas at once http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html -you are 100 percent correct This stuff is AMAZING!!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
