Hi nuru, just read your msg on the SPD thread. My son is also downs and very tactile defensive as well as all other 8 senses. He is basically not getting much help either as they don't know how to approach his issues. It would be good to hear how you get on. My son is nine soon (10 days)so we are a little bit further down the road. I do know some of his other issues interfere with the support needed (e.g his heart condition) Anyway you know where I am. Take care x
