Some other things you might try that sometimes work with my kindergartners- marching around (something about the heel making firm/strong contact with the ground), chewing gum, and carrying heavy objects (I'll sometimes just send a student next door with a couple of bottles of paint). There's also a catalog with great materials- I can't remember it off-hand right now, but I'll find it when I return to school on Monday- Good luck- your little one is lucky that you're already so knowledgeable about techniques that help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343505240926405500.post-46246440858728869182008-11-15T08:33:00.000-06:002008-11-15T08:33:00.000-06:00Oh, Sasha.

Weird but my husband is obsessed with all of the foods you had listed for the same reasons. And he's always chewing on his fingernails.

Another contains many plastic beads they can run their fingers through and pour out on the ground to walk on. I also have decorating marbles (flat on the bottom) and they just informed me they are cold, too.. so they love walking on them and rubbing them on their face. I also have dowel rods with sandpaper for the texture, as well. I have not done a lot with food as the school has concerns with allergies, etc. I also read about doing things with water, as that is a great thing for little ones to touch. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your help! Any other info you have would be greatly appreciated! :)Kids, Canines, and Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707215969352929758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343505240926405500.post-59924500839934309852008-11-13T14:55:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:55:00.000-06:00OK, now that's CRAZY.

Three kids with Hs who also have SPD issues.....<BR/><BR/>I read somewhere that sometimes the SPD can develop from events in life- so maybe the pain from the H manifested itself in sensory processing problems?<BR/><BR/>Very interesting....Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209668208226269653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343505240926405500.post-1431219320404260952008-11-13T14:50:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:50:00.000-06:00Thanks for the extra tips.

We had a foster son who was 2 and was going through being evaluated with OT and was suspected of having Sensory Processing Disorder (he has since gone home so I'm not sure how the eval went, but all screenings were pretty conclusive). Foster children quite often come with sensory problems so I'm always looking for more ideas. One that seemd to work well for our little guy was to have him wear a very small backpack with some heavier objects in them.<BR/><BR/>adlibby - our little guy had a hemangioma too...very interesting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1343505240926405500.post-47370806222206909392008-11-13T13:40:00.000-06:002008-11-13T13:40:00.000-06:00Whoa... interesting that I just chanced across you...Whoa... interesting that I just chanced across your blog. I have a six year old daughter who is being evaluated by an OT next week for Sensory Processing Issues and handwriting problems that she is now having in first grade. She also had a hemangioma, but it seems to have resolved of its own accord. Any reason to think that there is a connection between sensory issues and hems? <BR/><BR/>So sorry that your little pumpkin had to endure that. Interesting tips on sensory diet. I'm reading that book too. We'll have to compare notes. Best of luck! <BR/>AdlibbyAdlibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089563359698523941noreply@blogger.com
