Suggestions for Hypermobility

[Henwelly]

My DS appears to have joint hypermobility which seems to explain alot.

The behavioural GP linked to our school will be sending DS teachers a letter re him not being able to sit on the carpet, does anyone have any experience of things he could sit on, she suggested a stool but I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts.

Also she will be sending a letter to my GP - I didnt ask if he will be automatically referred to a OT or will I have to push for that - she did say he will prob need shoe inserts so im not sure if I need to sort this - you know how it is you leave an appointment and realise there is loads of things you didnt ask!

Dd3 is hypermobile too, it was noticed by the OT, although I did suspect it after reading stuff on here. I went to the GP to find out what to do about shoe inserts and he told me to go back to OT.

OT told me that they only look at upper bodies and said I need to go to the GP to request a physio assessment for her hips, knees and ankles.

They apologised to me for sending me round in circles but that is the way it is.

Mine have been given permission to sit on a chair (back support is important).

I wondered about back support when she suggested a stool - thankyou.

I will wait for her letter then go and see my GP re foot inserts.

Ask for referasl to physio and they can assses and refer to orthotics if they feel inserts are needed .

Ds has a breezi chair with pelvis supports and back to it to help with his seating problems this was arranged by the Ot .He also has seating at home but this was ss ot
