Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I just wanted to thank everyone for your replies. It has really been a help to find other people who understand. I haven't been able to reply for some time (computer problems ugh!). We had our intake with the therapist and my daughter has gone for one appointment. So far so good, it hasn't changed things obviously! But they seemed to build a rapport and I feel hopeful. Her father and I have both bought copies of " What to do when your brain gets stuck " and I've also started reading a few books for parents. She has started school and the spitting has gotten much worse. Her chin and around her mouth became chapped to the point of scabbing. She spits into her shirts so they're chronically soaked. We've begun to send changes of shirts with her. the other kids have begun to notice and a bit of teasing has begun, which breaks my heart but she has a good attitude about it. The newest fear is she is afraid to swallow her own saliva. Not sure how to field that one!! I remind her to swallow and she protests but does eventually. Her school has been incredibly supportive. Has anyone heard of sensory integration therapy being used as an adjunct to CBT? -Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
