Question- Has anyone ever heard of Sensory Learning?

March 23, 2008

I went to an interesting seminar last week at a sensory learning

center and was totally floored. I'm thinking of taking my son in for

the sessions but wanted to know if anyone else had used the same

therapy with any success.

I had my 12 year old done.. and actually stil owe 700 dollars i thought it really helped at the time ......the woman that did it actually knew more about autism and helped us better than any thing he had it done about 2 years ago an it did help..... i would love to do again again and again but cannot afford it shanniesutrali8 <tsutton888@...> wrote: I had not heard of it, but am asking around in other groups I am on.

Hi, I have not of this specific modality of treatment but my son has

received several different versions of it but not in combination. I

think that they probably help some but Aspergers is Aspergers is

Aspergers. Sorry but I don't believe these kids can be fixed. They

can learn to live with who they are and that's a great thing. Jody

,

I got some additional replies on other groups. All positive feedback

on the treatment itself. Only negative on the cost and the distance

you may have to travel to go to a treatment center (Draw back for me,

as I'd have to take 12 days off work to do the program)

I also got this data for you. Hope it helps!

B: I'm not saying my child needs " fixed " . As a matter of fact

during the seminar they say over and over that this is " not a cure "

but simply a way to improve their sensory processing. I know my child

can learn to live with any part of his condition. However, if I can

do something to him, for him, or with him to improve how his

environment feels to him I will.

I don't know if this treatment works or not though- that's why I'm

looking into it.

March 28, 2008

I agree, not a cure, but it is called 'A SENSORY DIET.' If you use it regularly and as you should, it works great; if you don't, it does not.

Our son meets his own needs all the time; he knows what he needs; if we do not brush in addition to all he does on his own ('cuz he loves it, we don't have to ask him to do things as he on his own knows he needs to meet these needs----without ever having the therapy, he was doing some of them naturally / instinctually, whatever it is.....------), he is UP later and won't go to bed; if we do the brushing and add some of the ball and hard work activities, he is sleeping within five minutes of hitting the pillow, including using the CD we were provided that uses rythms to calm him down and let him go to sleep using curcadium rhythms. etc.

IT does work; don't believe it, try it yourself. It is a part of daily life, but not FOOD!!! We don't believe in any of that food stuff UNLESS medically founded (none is with my boys personally) so we don't do that, but the sensory needs are real....these kids will do what they have to to meet their needs; it works wonders; also changes behaviors (which is a huge point and part of it).

March 28, 2008

Ruthie, I know this isn't for me, but I was peeking anyway. this sensory stuff, I've never focused on. but my son seems to have lots of sensory " cravings " if it's OK to call it that. ex: in the shower, he 'needs' to have the shower water hit his chest for the whole day if I let him. We have a Hugh exorcise ball, he loves (more like needs) to roll on, bounce his body on it, sit and bounce, and fall onto it - like falling forward and hitting the ball with his body stomach first. he love to do things that are repartition like kicking the ball against the wall - over & over. but the ugly part is: there is a high pitch sound my computer makes that I can't hear and it drives him crazy, he says he can hear it on the school computers too. described it like a dog whistle to a dog. he can hear the lights, the motor to the icebox, the humming sounds some electronics makes etc... but there are some days

that he says all these sounds are driving him crazy...What do you do with the sounds annoying a child? would you put on head phones or ear plugs all day? I was told when my son was younger not to use these because he would never adjust to all the sounds. He tolerates them, but hasn't adjusted to them. So after reading your post, I think I'd like to look into that more. when my son was a baby, they used a brushing technique on him too. they said it was helping him. but didn't explain why or how to me. at night, he sleeps with the nature CD on to help him fall asleep.. just wondering if you ordered your sensory stuff from the computer or would a store in the mall have them? where would I start to check out things to see what he needs and what might work. thanks RoseBRYAN DOLEZAL <DOLEZAL123@...> wrote: I agree, not a cure, but it is called 'A SENSORY DIET.'

Hi All:I just joined the group today in response to my 2 year-old's newly diagnosed AS, so I'm still learning about AS. But my older son (5) has sensory processing disorder so the sensory diet is pretty familiar in our house. Rose, my son is very sound hypersensitive as well, and some sounds bother him more than others. For example, he hates the sound of the blender and garbage disposal, but he LOVES ambulance and fire truck sirens. Go figure!I found the book "The Out of Sync Child" to be very helpful for me to understand sensory issues and why techniques like brushing work. Also, "The Out of Sync Child Has Fun" has been great for learning about helpful and fun

activities. Please understand that I am not a specialist, just a mom with two kids who have lots of interesting issues! I hope I haven't overstepped my bounds here. Being new to the group I'm not sure yet what I should offer up. But the questions about sensory diet did ring familiar so I thought I'd chime in.Thanks!Patti ( ) Re: Question- Has anyone ever heard of Sensory

Patti, all help is appreciated... thanks for responding. I did hear of that book, but at the time I started to read it, we weren't there yet. but I now know its time. thanks for reminding me of that book. I will borrow it again and read it. maybe let my son read it too. *smile & thanks* RosePattiAnnB <pabernius@...> wrote: Hi All:I just joined the group today in response to my 2 year-old's newly diagnosed AS, so I'm still learning about AS.

Hi Patti and welcome to the group! My son is 16. When he was younger, he was very sensitve to sounds. This has improved greatly over the years. Just like you described, some sounds bothered him more than others. I used to be able to vaccuum directly under his crib when he was asleep. The blender, trucks, cars, all those annoying toy car sirens.... none of that bothered him. What really bothered him most were the fire alarm at school and the noise of a crowd, like at a party. He used to scream bloody murder when we were in Ikea, but it didn't bother him at all at Sam's Club. They're both warehouse kind of places, but one bothered him and the other didn't.

Hi, My sons therapist had mentioned to me that my son

might benefit from brusing....he said he seems to be

tactile overloaded...his son had benefited from it.

When I did it to my son ...he loved it. My son is

very sensitive to clothing, things touch him, being

hugged, etc. I asked him today if he would like to try

it again and he said YES...it felt GOOD! His

therapist said it like this ...think of it as every

nerve ending in you skin is jumping and that how they

feel...so why not! I think it a good idea to try....I

know if I slowly scratch my son ...he falls

asleep...he has been having a hard time sleeping but

since he has been outside playing basketball for

hours...he comes in exhausted and falls right to

sleep.

I am going to a seminar ...and I will try to bring up

the queston.

: I agree, not a cure, but it is called 'A SENSORY DIET.' If

you use it regularly and as you should, it works great; if you don't,

it does not.

: I've actually heard of the sensory diet and know of people

that use it successfully. This is something different. It's a one

month program that stimulates 3 different senses at once to somehow

make the brain be more in tune and less sensitive. It doesn't stop

all of the sensitivity. It just somehow opens their perception up.

It's not like the sensory diet where you look to meet the needs every

day. It's a treatment where the child spends one hour a day on a

motion table with headphones playing sounds looking at a light

display. 12 days in the office, then 18 days at home. 30 days and an

increase in peripheral vision and cognitive learning.

So far I've only heard good things secondhand. I'm hoping to hear

more firsthand experiences.

I buy my son's sensory brushes and other sensory products here:http://www.abilitations.comOr you can do an internet search on "sensory brush". They're just small plastic brushes like what surgeons use to scrub before surgery. I think they're also called "corn brushes". The brushing does not have to be done by a therapist - it can be done at home, but I found it helpful to have my son's OT show me how to do it. It's called the "Wilbarger Protocol", which is fancy for "brushing up and down the arms and legs". If you do a search on Wilbarger Protocol or sensory brushing you should be able to find it. Both my sons

like brushing, one has sensory processing issues and the other has AS. It's like it gets all those over-stimulated nerve endings calmed down and functioning in synchrony. Heck, I don't really know how or why it works. I just know it does for my little guys! :)Patti ( ) Re: Question- Has anyone> ever heard of Sensory Learning?> > Sorry but I don't believe these kids can be> fixed.
