I just wanted to share a tip with those of you who have dcs with tactile sensitivity.
We have yet to see our OT but I got some tips from her in a telephone call a few weeks ago. One was to try and 'desensitise' ds using a rough old towel before putting on problem clothes.
This has worked a treat . DS still wears the same things all the time but when it comes to a problem area (e.g. for him he hates his school polo shirt collar) we get out 'Mr Towel', do the 'Mr Towel song' (don't ask ) and all have a laugh as I give him a good rub .
He has even started to ask for it now. Incredible!! Will start building up to trying it with new clothes soon ....
