Hello,
Sorry about the rubbish title but I didn't know what else to squeeze in.
DD2 (3.9yr), has development delay and sensory processing difficulties. The older she gets the more Dyspraxic she gets, and this is now becoming quite apparent.
In brief, she started to walk in November last year but now doing very well, she can read 50 odd words and knows all the alphabet etc. Her language and vocab is good, but her communication and social skills are terrible (probably my biggest priority now).
On Indigobells recommendations we have been doing retained reflexes since last Sept and this is going very well (Thank you Indigo).
Since she was 11 months she has had sensory integration therapy and sensory diet and most of her difficulties are gradually being ironed out. My issue with her now is that she talks constantly, but not to anyone, she is just verbalising her thoughts, I need to make her more sociable and have more conversational skills. She is able to request something or answer questions but that's as far as the interaction goes. It's also really hard to get her attention, you have to literally turn her head to look at you.
On another thread (I didn't want to hijack), AIT has caught my eye (Indigo again actually). I spoke to the Sound and Learning centre yesterday and it sounds great so have booked an assessment, however I just can't work out how I'm going to get there for 10 days (in or out of school holidays) with my other DC too. I can't work out how to juggle it. Itsjust too far.
Is there anywhere else at all that does AIT and light therapy like this?
Also, can anyone who has been to the Sound learning centre tell me of their experiences and whether I should go for it (tons of money).
TIA
