Sensory Processing Disorder?????



Dexter is currently having a "Sensory Profile" done. This involves an OT asking questions about him and observing him.
She then compiles a report and gives us ideas on how to divert him from certain behaviours!
It's looking highly likely that he has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD.) Another little label to add to ASD, learning disability and significant development delay.
I'm just looking forward to having an explanation of why he does certain strange things and being able to explain it to other people!

At the moment he's going through a major furniture moving and climbing phase! This has replaced the licking to some extent so there's a lot less saliva on the TV/clock/window. Which is great as we can actually see what's on the TV, what time it is and look through the window!
