I spoke with an Occupational Therapist today to set up an appointment with Christian and I'm so hopeful that we are headed in the right direction here. I had read The Out of Sync Child a while back and felt pretty confident that his issue was Sensory Integration related (strong Sensory Seeker)...my doctor knew nothing about it and when I asked for a referral to an OT her reaction was, well don't you want to know if there is something really wrong with him... Argghhh.
OTs can and do evaluate children and then may reffer them to specialists if they deem it necessary. Anyway...The Pediatric Neurologist who we ended up seeing on Monday did reffer him to an OT...the best thing to come from that appointment. So...speaking to the OT over the phone today I was telling her all about him and the things he does and she was like...yep, sounds like typical sensory seeking stuff. Thank You Lord...I feel so validated. Anyway...she recommended that I take a look at the site above. I can't believe that I'm getting tangible help already...all the other one wanted to do was drug up my kid. That just ticks me off so bad.

Good for you in persevering and researching and trusting your mommy-heart! Another book that might be helpful in your journey is Sensational Kids by Lucy Jane Miller. The author of Out of Sync Child wrote the foreword for this one. Good stuff!
Thanks for that recommendation, I just went to my library site right now and ordered it.
