:

Was your son doing sensory integration O.T. before doing this program? If so, how

was the program different for him?

Subject: Colter and Sensory Learning

Hello All-

We wanted to share what was going on with Colter. Colter has been out of Sensory Learning program for about 10 days. We are shocked daily by the jumps he is making. We completed a Sensory Profile that showed major improvements with dealing with Sensory Needs- almost every item was age appropriate. Compliance has gone through the roof- we only have to ask him once- and now he knows his limits and is talking himself through situations (amazing). His spont language is shocking us daily. His stimming has dropped down to about 10 minute intervals 4x a day- totally self controlled (he will say " one more time movie talk " and he does it one more time and he is done). He is sitting at the table- brushing his teeth- totally going potty by himself- washing his own hair- bathing himself. He is playing with neighbors and his wonderful brother. He is much calmer and sleeps through the night. We are still working on increasing the foods he will eat, but he is willing to try more foods. He does want to sleep more then he use to 6-9 hours and notices lights " look mom, yellow light " . He is kissing and hugging his brother- his brother is beside himself with happiness. He is laughing- a genuine laugh- and his eye contact is purposeful- not blank stares!

Some of you wanted to know where he was before he started sensory learning- well it is hard to say because his school program was really bad this year. He was struggling daily- they let him watch tv for goodness sakes. Where was he- very non- compliant- you couldn't test him for anything- he did not want to participate. He wanted to movie talk 30 minutes x8 a day. His sensory needs were never satisfied. He only ate chicken and pancakes. I had to totally bathe him and help him with toileting. He never chose to play with us- he never wanted to snuggle with his brother- he wanted to spend all day everyday in la-la land. He slept 4-5 hours a night. He only spoke when he needed something or we requested language...

I was at the clinic tonight and they have a few more time slots available for August. I know they are getting ready to release a huge advertisement and wanted to let you all know if you were thinking about doing Sensory Learning done this year you might want to jump on it quickly. www.ictsonline.com

I know there are a few more families out there that have been through Sensory Learning please share your stories.

I did take daily notes if anyone is interested in the full program.

Thanks for listening

PS Colter loved " the elevator " everytime we are in the clinic Colter ask to get on the table - " I want the elevator- I want the red light " . Sensory Learning has given us back hope for Colter's future!

Sensory Learning is not just for people with Autism- it is helping people with LDs, ADHD, ADD, SI, Stroke Victims, Brain Injuries, etc...

Shell, Can I use your two e mails as a mail out to parents who inquire to UA for help?

Sensory Learning is not like OT Sensory therapy- it brings vision, auditory and sensory all together- It is best to go to www.sensorylearning.com and www.ictsonline.com

View the little screens of information. Truly amazing!

Thanks

Thank you. I did go to the web sites, but couldn't tell whether it was truly different, or if we

might be paying more for the same thing that we already do once/week. I'll definitely

explore further...
