We really haven't taken him to any therapy sessions that I can remember but in our visit with Early Intervention they gave us some good ideas which have helped.<br /><br />We used a plastic brush with these plastic brissels and would brush his back, arms and legs. Then we would do some sort of compression therapy, not sure exactly what it was called but we would massage his joints. We definitely noticed him calming down. We did this for about 6 months. Now we will rub or pat his back and that helps.<br /><br />I don't remember if there was anything we did in regards to his sensory to food.<br />Hope that helps.Wildthreeplus2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17134290350741761098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817534420224769131.post-59748296149646491572010-11-27T09:06:39.426-08:002010-11-27T09:06:39.426-08:00I work as an SLP and I have seen miracles happen w...I work as an SLP and I have seen miracles happen with SI therapy. For example, my most recent case of 'magic' happened- I started working with a boy before his 2nd birthday and he could only say 'da' syllables for everything. After a year, he had made little progress but finally when his mom began sensory therapy with an OT, he started making a ton more sounds- vowel sounds and consonant sounds- he even says Petah Pan, moo, etc. and we've worked on this for over a year, but until OT started he made little progress.<br /><br />Interestingly, his mom reported improvements in his eating as well. He just turned 3.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201064701178458053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817534420224769131.post-65514255264715732022010-11-01T21:39:15.733-07:002010-11-01T21:39:15.733-07:00We haven't had any experience with SI. - Good...We haven't had any experience with SI. - Good Luck on your paper though! :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592527654853042452noreply@blogger.com
