Sensory Processing Disorder. Hypo-sensitive

[sarahhoppity]

Hi does anyone have experience of help with diagnosis and "sensory diet" therapy in West Sussex. It has been suggested by a professional my child has SPD and at last something seems to make sense of his behaviours.
Always jumping, running can't do anything unless it's with immense gusto, no sense of pain, thirst, hot cold, doesn't realise he is playing too roughly for others. Calmness rarely exists in his world.
From my research it seems help varies depending on where you live.

I agree with poltergoose, ask for an OT referral, my daughter has spd difficulties with proprioceptive, vestibular, tactile, auditory and visual processing difficulties, the book mentioned above is a great book so would definitely recommend that as well, our OT was brilliant with therapy sessions and advice for my daughter.
