San . You should contact your regional center as well. Take a look at Quest

camp, for next summer.

Hi D ~

I just had to reply to you as we live just north of you in Rohnert Park. I would

have emailed you personally, but couldn't find an email address that was

complete on the post. How old is your son? Our son was originally diagnosed

PDD-NOS also several years ago. He's got a lot of anxiety too ~ like his mom

(me). He's now 17 and was eventually, I think at age 15 or 16, diagnosed with

Asperger's Syndrome. I'd love to chat with you more on the subject and maybe we

can even meet up sometime. I really haven't met anyone close to Rohnert Park to

just chat with that has children with similar issues. There is a home school

meet up group, but not necessarily kids with issues. I'd love to find or form a

group for our kids. Our son is 17, but is absolutely wonderful with younger

kids. In fact when I worked at a preschool in Santa , he would be my summer

camp helper with the kids because he's so good with the younger ones. He'd make

a great camp counselor I think. If you'd like to contact me personally, my email

is holling1992@.... Look forward to hopefully chatting soon.

There is an awesome facility in Redwood City called FACES…Dr.

…lots of sensory and a true believer in early intervention.

Did not actually use them because they were out of our area but talked at

length and was very impressed with everything about the facility and staff. My

grandson is also PDD-NOS, diagnosed at three and is now doing well in

mainstream kindergarten. We found with DGS that the majority of his problems

were sensory and found an amazing OT in our are, (Sacramento), who specialized in SPD

Read a book called the sensory sensitive

child and you will see your son’s picture on several pages I’m sure…We

did not make much headway until we read this book and it was a very helpful eye

opener

Good luck,

Teri

Depending on your son's age he should be eligible for services through

Early Start or through your son's school. Contact North Bay Regional

Center for an evaluation. Another wonderful organization in Santa

is Anova. They offer everything from speech, OT, behavioral, social

skills, etc. Please feel free to email me directly with questions.

Best of luck to you,

Colleen
