In your therapy they have been changing his schedule A LOT. You don't adapt easy to a schedule change and its just not a good thing. So you have been having a lot of behavior problems, at therapy, and at home. So last Wednesday your teacher tells me that she wants me to meet with her and then one of the head guys at your therapy center. I am scared to death because I think your gonna get kicked out of school or therapy or something. She told me that we have to discuss his behavior so I knew you were gone. The next day I go for our meeting and they started out by talking about positive things about you, which was GREAT. It made me feel like they weren't there just to tell me all the bad things about you. So then we go to start talking about your behaviors. I guess at therapy (and at home) you have been running into walls, kids, adults, throwing toys, not having control of your body and hitting yourself on things. So after hearing this I had mentioned to them that maybe it could be sensory problems? They totally agreed with me and said that it definitely could be that. Now I have written before about you and your sensory issues that we were getting you diagnosed with a sensory disorder. It never got done so we never addressed that. But since all of these new behaviors are going on we definitely are going to address it. You just got a new occupational therapist and so when you and her get to know each other more we are going to have her make you up a sensory diet. Its not a diet that you eat but its activities that you do to give more sensory since you are seeking it the most. Examples would be, deep pressure, playing with play-doh, jumping, swinging, spinning around, playing with shaving cream or sand, brushing...and more. So we will see what they come up with for you. We are going to have to do it every 45 min so that's going to be a challenge but I am pretty sure its going to work. On Sunday, during Sac Meeting, you were sitting on my lap and I started giving you pressure and next thing I know you were fast asleep...haha. It calmed him down so much that it put you right to sleep.

Love ya buddy!
