Re: new behavior for Rumi: rocking/Laurie

[Guest guest]

Ursula, geez I love your name, I was at a sensory

integration workshop and they had a kit with a

hammock and a swing and a platform swing. It was $159

for the entire kit. I already had the swing and I went

home with pictures and Mics dad made a platform swing

and we took an old hammock we had and cut it down to

use it. I used them with Mics OT. I still have the

platform swing Mic wont use and the hammock he doesnt

like anymore either.Do you ever use joint compresses

or deep pressure like big bear hugs.I dont know if you

have seen the sensory integration information if you

havent I can find it and forward. I am fortunate I can

do the workshops and I do them when I can.It sounds to

me that you are are on the right track and are

informed.Rumi is lucky, I have a feeling hes going to

do well he has you who is searching and working to

find solutions for him.Just when I am ready to give up

on Mic thinking well this is all we get he usually

goes into spurts and renews my faith we are making

progress. This is the first year he opened his xmas

presents and played with them. Mics dad got a pool

table for xmas and you should see Mic he loves

watching the balls roll down the table and has his own

cue stick very cute.There is also a DSI{sensory} group

at yahoo I go in for suggestions it helps. Laurie
