Sensory procesing Disorder - Visual processing - Tclanger??

[mumgoingcrazy]

DD2 (20 months) has just had a sensory profile done, her auditory processing was right at the top of the scale and the visual processing wasn't far behind.

The Visual processing problems were a surprise to me and the OT and not something I know much about. Does anyone elses child with SPD have Visual processing problems and if so what can be done?

Tclanger I saw a link on one of your posts about sound and vision, have you done the vision part and if so what did it entail?

Tclanger, can you tell me more about the listening program and what the difference is between this and Therapeutic Listening? TL was all that was offered to us, so we took it (obviously) but wondered what all the pros and cons were. How long do you do yours for? Ours is meant to be only 12 weeks, then 3 month break before doing more if we need it. Also does yours need to be every day and for how long?

Just curious really, sorry for firing all the q's at you

Thanks TC. It does sound similar to TLP in how it works. We have to do 30 mins twice a day with a minimum of 3 hours between sessions. It's surprising how it fits into your day actually as with TLP you can do anything at all whilst the music is on except be looking at a computer or TV so I just do it at breakfast and dinner.

Let me know how you get on!!

Hiya my son is 8 years old, when he was younger he never use to like wearing clothes, as he got older he only would wear pants not boxers, hated labels in clothes, only wear tracksuit style bottoms that fitted him properly no jeans, his socks would have to fit at the seams properly on his toes and heal, and be pulled up....and now its his shoes...h I have bougth around 20 pairs within the last month and now I have to take him to school with no shoes on where he cannot find a pair he feels comfortable in. He says they feel to soft at the bottom, the tongue on them are to chunky, and mainly they are to loose he wants them tight, he wants them so tight he ends up ripping the velcro off the shoe.When he is wearing goggles at swimming he has to have them tight, so tight his eyes swell. When he wears hats in the winter the velcro underneath his chin as to be done up just so.... I am writing this as he has not been diagnosed with this disorder but I feel by what other people have wrote that he has tactile defensiveness, does anyone agree ?He has other learning difficulties in school, his fine motor skills are poor, he plays younger than his age and is 2 years behind in his education, he also has glue ear.
I find every morning a challenge as it takes me around and hour to get him dressed into clothes that he feels comfortable in, if he does not feel comfortable he just crys.I have taken him to over 10 shoe shops the past week, letting him choose from crocs, tainers, boots, canvas, sandles, light up, toy shoes but still cannot find a pair that is tight enough or the right shape, feel etc .....any ideas ?
I feel like nobody who I know understands me and it hurts me to feel I can't get help for him quicker...the physcologists just seem to take their time and let my child struggle with everyday routine. If anyone can tell me if there are any groups in the Bristol area in the united kingdom I would really appreciate it...thanks
