My ds was 2 in February and has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder. He needs constant stimulation, and without it can be violent, pinching, slapping and biting.
Has been in nursery for nearly 2 years as I'm in full time work.
Occupational Therapy have been brilliant and have given us loads of activities that satisfy him and, although hard work at home, there is no violence.
After a good start in nursery after the occupational therapist visited and showed the staff how to deal with my little man, there has been major regression. They are not giving him his prescribed activities (for which they are receiving extra funding) and he is attacking the staff and the other children.
They now want to permanently exclude him.
I'm angry, scared and all over the place.
I totally understand that it is unacceptable to have a child that attacks others BUT he only does this when his sensory needs are not met.
What do I do??????????????
